Hello all,

While I was programming my menu to work off of keystates I started wondering "my keystate for enter is 28, but it isn't going to be like that for all computers, is it?" If I'm right, this isn't reliable enough for me. What would be a better way to check the keys that will be the same on the majority of computers?

I was able to use key up and keydown for directing, but the problem is in entering and exiting different parts of the menu.

Thanks all!

99% of the time it's going to be the same KEYSTATE().

Awesome, thanks a lot. I wasn't really sure if they changed much
