The following is in the event menu
AddkeyboardShortCut(0, #PB_ShortCut_C, #C_Code)

It's working if I press C key, but how to detect CTRL-C?

AddkeyboardShortCut(0, #PB_ShortCut_C | #PB_ShortCut_Control, #C_Code) does not work.

Hello cor,

Don't know how you coded it in your test but the following works fine ...

As I use Debug to display result, do not forget to select the window back itself after program's start.

;==========================================
WEvent.l
EventMenu.l
Quit.l

Quit = #FALSE
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 240, 0, "")
AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Escape, 99)
AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_ShortCut_C, 100)
AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_ShortCut_C | #PB_ShortCut_Control, 101)
AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_ShortCut_C | #PB_Shortcut_Alt, 102)
AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_ShortCut_C | #PB_ShortCut_Control | #PB_Shortcut_Alt, 103)
Repeat
WEvent = WaitWindowEvent()
Select WEvent
Case #PB_EventMenu
EventMenu = EventMenuID()
Select EventMenu
Case 99
Quit = #TRUE
Case 100
Debug "C"
Case 101
Debug "CTRL-C"
Case 102
Debug "ALT-C"
Case 103
Debug "ALT-CTRL-C"
Default
EndSelect
Default
EndSelect
Until Quit
EndIf

End

Hello Cor, hope you don't mind me saying that I can see that you had it backwards, the control key check must come first, then the key or'ed with it.

AddkeyboardShortCut(0, #PB_ShortCut_Control | #PB_ShortCut_C, #C_Code)

I have many keyboard shorcuts through most of my apps since I learned how to use it properly (I can hear Paul laghing at me now) and that's the right way around.

@Francois, I don't see how yours can work backwards like that, it isn't logical, sounds like my normal mode of thinking!! (grin)

is a simple bitwise OR, so the order doesnt
make any difference.

Did Paul teach you that ??

Didn't know about the order, I supposed it was a FIFO storage buffer.

As for Paul, he was teaching me native Canadian sarcasm

:)

Just remembering from 18 years ago that alot of the P'code and interpreted languages used a strictly first in-first out logic for tests (unlike multi-pass and single pass assembly compilers of today) so that Control and then C was the way it was tested and not the other way around

Does anyone remember the Sharp handheld, the Sega and the Exidy Sorcerer computers?? Their Basics were great :)

Thanks for the responses.

My first code was ok. There was something wrong with the event handling. Its working now.

Look at Danilo's smiley character and my ":):)" and if you think that smiling is scary, you should hear the way Paul and I stir each other, it's very funny

Everyone should download Paul's PB chat program and have some live fun

:)

I was not used to smileys before starting with PB forum (maybe a bit old to have been teached with that before). But I am looking now messages here and I agree this may become funny for experts.
