How to notice alt key is pressed in BlueGui?

With EventType()=keydown EventData() returns '16' when shift is pressed and '17' when ctrl is pressed but nothing when alt is pressed !

Nor does EventDataEx() return anything with alt key

If you don't find a way, try DBPro's own commands.

keystate(56) returns the alt keystate.

No way... if BG gadgets are not in main (DBPro) window (they are in separate window created by BG), you cant recognize any keystates or scancodes. Control of keyboard pressings is totally in BG window.

That's true. (I didn't know because you didn't say so in your first post )

I am afraid that I don't know any way to make the ALT key work in separate windows.
However, if you plan on using ALT + <any character you want>, you might try hotkeys.
