I ask because it doesn't seem to match the standard ascii chart. I get 65 for A, regardless of upper or lowercase. An apostrophe is key 222. However, spacebar and return key are what I'd expect, 32 and 13 respectively.

That is because it doesn't return standard ascii.

It returns key codes which are defined on this page.

You can tell if a shift key is being pressed, but not at the same time as checking another key.

You can check for both (I think) using GetRawKeyPressed(16) (for shift) and then GetRawKeyPressed(65) (for A).

I haven't tried this, it is just a possibility.

Yes, take the first if the count is = 0 or take next if >.
And you will be able to check all at same time.

Long life to Steve!

There is a guide in the manual which gives you the scancode value for each key. I use it ALL the time. Just look in help, guides, scroll to the misc section at the bottom, and there is a list of scancodes. I leave it open in the browser, and refer to it when I can't remember the specific code for a key I need.

Or he can use the link to the page I posted in my first response.
