The "special" keys: Ctrl, Shift and Alt, can't be intercepted using SetKey().
For Shift and Ctrl you can use:
GetKeyState( VK_SHIFT ) --> lYesOrNo
GetKeyState( VK_CONTROL ) --> lYesOrNo
Alt is a system key and usually gets routed through the Method SysCommand(). Windows uses Alt for some system actions, so its better not to use it. In some cases we can redefine a Method SysCommand() to trap the System Alt+Key that we need to intercept. In example, Windows uses Alt+F4 to close the app.
Non system used Alt+... combinations are usually reserved for menuitems actions, and hotkey accelerators.
So, for Alt+... combinations, you have to implement something like:
- Code: Select all Expand view
- @ 5, 4 BUTTON "Alt-&C - Quit" OF oDlg SIZE 40, 12 ACTION TheEnd()
