Catching the "Shift", "right" & "left" keys

[linum]

What is the correct syntax for using the door library to catch the "Shift", "right" and "left" keys? Can somebody please post an example?


Thanks

Thank you Eril. Actually a user from one of the programs I created was wondering if there was a way to move from one textbox to the other using his PDA's right and left keys. I explained to him that it would be impractical to do that because it would disable the ability to move the cursor inside a text box, so instead I thought maybe the combination of the Shift + right key would do the trick (that is to raise an event where I can call a sub that moves the focus to the other textbox). The problem is that the Door (nor the Hardware) library allows me to mix both shift and right (or left) key, or at least I wasn't able to make it work with that combination.

I've been messing around with the db2000 GetKeyboard (device) library and initial testing seems to work. I'll keep using this lib to see if I get anywhere.


Thanks...

Wow! It works incredibly good on the Desktop. I just have to try it on the Device now...
