I thought that holding down Shift would be a convenient way. But how do I trap that ? I have experimented with OnKeyDown but it is triggered only sometimes and I do not understand the conditions under which the key down will be checked. Can anybody pls help.

Call GetAsyncKeyState to find out the state of any key. (GetKeyState will tell you the state the key was in when the currently handled message was retreived, which isn't useful since your program probably isn't handling messages yet.) -- Rob Back to top Tom de Neef Guest Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 7:12 pm    Post subject: Re: Bypassing startup sequence "Rob Kennedy" <me3 (AT) privacy (DOT) net> schreef in bericht news:44f2ckF1sctuU1 (AT) individual (DOT) net...
