Issue differentiating between Ctrl-DEL and Ctrl-Backspace

[dano]

Example of using devices for this:

Code: (Select All)

d% = _Devices 'always read number of devices to enable device input

Do

    _Limit 30 'main loop

    Do While _DeviceInput(1) 'loop only runs during a device 1 keyboard

        For i = 1 To _LastButton(1)

            If _Button(i) <> 0 And i <> 30 Then

                If _Button(30) Then

                    Print "Left CTRL + Keycode #"; i; "down"

                Else

                    Print "KeyCode #"; i; "down"

                End If

            End If

        Next

    Loop

Loop Until InKey$ = Chr$(27)



End

Note that the keycodes here are different than whay you get for INKEY$ or _KEYHIT.  These are mapped to the same as INP keycodes, if I remember correctly.  See the wiki for full details and mapping listing.

Took me a couple of minutes to understand the logic where you exclude 30 (If _Button(i) <> 0 And i <> 30 Then)...and then test for 30.  I like what you did there!  I was able to integrate _Devices with my Inkey$ routine and was able to get this working.

As always Steve you are a wealth of knowledge and a great asset to this community, so a big Thank You for your help.  BTW, are there plans to fix this "glut issue" ?
