Hi All,

I search an way to set the hilite of a button when the user press the shiftKey on the keyboard.
I want avoid a pending message and I only found a dirty way by the mousemove

Code: Select all

on mousemove
   set the hilite of btn "bMultipleSelection" to (shiftKey() is down)
end mousemove

Best regards

It had to be the one key that sends no message, the shiftKey???

Are you adverse to using "idle"?

hi Craig,

If i can't do the same without it but it seems a loop is the only way
