Hi!
I'd like to add additional hidden options to button gadgets and made them available only when a specific key combination is pressed.
Could you please advise an easiest way to read pressed key/s when the button gadget is kicked?
Thank you in advance!

A
Windows-only solution:
Code: Select all
Enumeration
#MainWindow
#Button
EndEnumeration
wFlags = #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered
OpenWindow(#MainWindow, #PB_Any, #PB_Any, 300, 200, "Masked-Click (Windows Only)", wFlags)
ButtonGadget(#Button, 100, 80, 100, 30, "Button")
Repeat
Select WaitWindowEvent()
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
appQuit = 1
Case #PB_Event_Gadget
Select EventGadget()
Case #Button
If GetAsyncKeyState_(#VK_SHIFT)
Debug "Button clicked with shift"
ElseIf GetAsyncKeyState_(#VK_CONTROL)
Debug "Button clicked with control"
Else
Debug "Button clicked"
EndIf
EndSelect
EndSelect
Until appQuit
Hope it helps.

Once upon a time, I used GetAsyncKeyState in an app of mine and some antivirus solutions reported that my app is a variant of a keylogger because of the use of this API. So, I replaced it with a hotkey and since then I have no problem. Tell me if you want the code.
