Hi,:-D The key status returned from GetKeyState function changes as a specified thread reads key messages from its message queue. The status does not reflect the interrupt-level state associated with the hardware. Use the GetAsyncKeyState function to retrieve that information. :) "Dream bigger...Do bigger...Expect smaller" aji
