Control F1 keycode with TP7 under XP

[galtjunk]

XP will not pass the control f1 keycode through to my program.
Control F2 goes through fine. Is there a cure?

I have no trouble using function key combinations under XP Home (even in windowed mode). Try the following short program to test if windows is really the problem:

program test;
uses crt;
var ch,ch2 : char;

begin
  repeat
    ch:=readkey;
    write(byte(ch):4);
    if ch=#0
     then writeln(byte(readkey):5)
     else writeln;
  until ch=#27;
end.

Don't worry what people think about you. They're too busy wondering what you think about them.

I ran your program and it does not react to the following control combinations.

control f1
control f3
control f6

I am using XP Pro and BP7.

Maybe you keyboard has some loose contacts; do these key combinations work in other (non-DOS) applications?

I found it.
WinDVD had programmed the Control F1 keystroke. It was being intercepted and not sent to the TP ide or TP programs.

Thanks,
