Hi All,

I was hoping someone could help me with this

I have a question how do I detect the differance between the Key a being pressed and then then Key A being pressed?

Basically I have need to have different actions happen when the Key a is pressed and another function happen when Key A is pressed

any advice would be most welcomed as I have no idea and I can not even detect the differance in VB.net and no one seems to be able to tell me there either.

And here is my input: -

 Does Key.Text not show a or A ?

If Key.Text Then
Select Key.Text
 Case "a"

Case "A"
End Select

Endif

Not at home to test it.

Thanks Bruce this worked perfectly I can now detect the difference between the keys  and not relaying on key scan codes etc
so it is quicker

You are welcome
The other suggestions will still help if you want to check for non alphabetical keys like F3, TAB, etc with shift differences but for any alphabetical text key Key.Text would do it.
