How do you check if the Control, Shift or Alt key is pressed at any given
time (not necessarily in a keyevent)?

Cheers,

You can use the Windows.Forms.Control.ModifierKeys property:

\\\
If (Windows.Forms.Control.ModifierKeys And Keys.Control) <> 0 Then
Debug.WriteLine("Ctrl is pressed")
End If
If (Windows.Forms.Control.ModifierKeys And Keys.Shift) <> 0 Then
Debug.WriteLine("Shift is pressed")
End If
If (Windows.Forms.Control.ModifierKeys And Keys.Alt) <> 0 Then
Debug.WriteLine("Alt is pressed")
End If
///

HTH,
