Does someone have sample code in either a mouse click or mouse down event that tests to see if a modifier key such as ALT,CTRL or SHFT is being pressed?

What I want to do is something like:

Sub mouse.Click....

If CTRL is pressed then

Do Something

else

Do something else

End sub

Thanks!

keypress event

How? A keypress event is separate from mouse click event. Then you have the reverse problem. How do you know when a mouse button is clicked when a key press event occurs?

Not too sure what you are trying to achieve, but this code seems to work. Keep in mind that for a modifier keypress event to register in this example (SHIFT), a second key has to be pressed (eg "a"), as well as the left mouse button.

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _ System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
        If ((Control.ModifierKeys And Keys.Shift) = Keys.Shift) _
And Control.MouseButtons = MouseButtons.Left Then
            ' Do This
        Else
            'Do That
        End If
    End Sub

Awesome...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

For others reading this thread....This will work:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object,ByVal e as EventArgs) Handles.Button1.Click

   If Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Control Then
      Do Something
   Else
      Do Something Else
   End If

End Sub
