keyboard non-character key identification

How do I determine which non-character key has been depressed? Is there a way to determine if the shift key is also depressed at the same time?

Where are you checking the key states? In a Key event handler, such as KeyDown, those keys are availble via the event args:

Code Snippet

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown

If e.Shift Then

'the shift key is depressed

End If

End Sub

Can you elaborate more?
