Hi, all.

Is there a way to read into a variable the identifier of a key that has been pressed?

For example, the value of the constant #PB_Key_Up is 200. Is it possible to return that value when the key is pressed?

Thank you for your time.

Depends, are you working with sprites and screens or on the OS gui? If so, what OS?

Hi, netmaestro. I'm working with sprites and screens. To explain further: I would like to store, in a variable, the key constant value of the key that is pressed by the user. One way to do this would be to use a series of If statements or Select statements, checking for every possible key constant. But I wondered if there was a simple way of finding out the key constant value of whatever key was just pressed.

Thanks.

Multiple keys can be pressed at the same time, thats why there is no such functionality. You need to know what key you are looking for.
