Detecting if Shift button pressed

[kejpa]

Hi,

How can I detect if the Shift button is pressed when handling a button click event?

 

Is it stated somewhere in the EventArgs parameter or do I have to have a form variable that contains which buttons (Shift/Ctrl/Alt) that currently are pressed?

 

TIA

Use the static property ModifierKeys of the Control class:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Shift)
   {
       MessageBox.Show("Shift Pressed");
   }
}

That's a simple one. :o

I learned the hard way. I was originally using the GetKeyboardState API method :)
