Detecting Multiple Key Presses

[5ilver5aracen]

Hi, I'm writing a simple win32 game using vb6 and was wondering whats the best way to check for the keyboard state. The game needs to know if more than 1 key is pressed and what the keys are. Many thanks in advance.

A brilliant example here Key press 1.1

Thanks for that. How can you check for multiple keypresses at once though? I need to tell if the user presses on "i" and "o" at the same time for example.

I think you have to detect GetAsyncKeyState
Have a search on that. Also there is a game tutorial at PSCODE
