Trapping Modifier Keys 1

[sacsac]

I am trying to trap combinations of the ALT/SHIFT keys in the KeyDown event of a form, using this code:

Private Sub frmMDI_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown


If Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Shift Or Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Alt Then
'do something
End If

End Sub

This successfully traps if EITHER key is pressed. However, if in order to trap events when BOTH keys are pressed I replace the "Or" with "And", as here:

If Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Shift And Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Alt Then
'do something
End If

then NOTHING happens at all. What am I missing here?

I have resolved this myself with:

If Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Shift + Keys.Alt + Keys.Control Then

'do something

EndIf


Simple really!
