Thanks,

.... or, if you want to get the state of the key even if other modifier keys
are pressed:

\\\
If CBool(Control.M odifierKeys And Keys.Shift) Then

End If

Thank you Jose', Herfried.
BTW, what is the difference between keys.shift and keys.shiftkey

Keys.Shift is a "modifier key" and Keys.ShiftKey is a "key".
You use Keys.ShiftKey when you want to check only if the shift key is pressed.
You use Keys.Shift when you are checking for another key combined with the shift and, maybe, other modifier keys.

Also, you should always use bitwise operations, as Herfried noted, combined conveniently, depending if you can or cannot ignore other modifier keys.

Regards.

"KahurangiK ea" <no****@develop mentnow.comschr ieb:

Sorry, above posting is incorrect. Only returns true if Shift is only
modifier key pressed, and

dim shiftPressed as Boolean = cBool(Control.M odifierKeys = Keys.Shift)

is simpler.

Write '... = (Control.Modifi erKeys = Keys.Shift)' to determine if the shift
modifier key is pressed only, and write '... = CBool(Control.M odifierKeys
And Key.Shift)' to determine if the shift modifier key and possibly other
modifier keys are pressed.
