OnKeydown

[Zyrenthian]

Hi All,
Got a question, I have a list control and I want to override the up and down arrows. Captureing the keydown event it easy but what I need to know is if the user has the shift key down while pressing the up or down arrow. How can I test for that as well?

LV_KEYDOWN* pLVKeyDow = (LV_KEYDOWN*)pNMHDR;
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

   switch(pLVKeyDow->wVKey)
   {
   case VK_DOWN:
   {
     TRACE("DOWN\n");
     // stuff
   }
   case VK_UP:
   {
     TRACE("UP\n");
     // stuff
   }
   }// end switch

So the "stuff" works fine except for the fact that it behaves like the shift is down when it is not. If I modify it to not behave like the shift is down then I get the opposite result when shift is down. How can I check for 2 keys being down?

Use the API function GetKeyState();

like
int nresult = GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT);
