I am trapping a KeyDown
event and I need to be able to check whether the current keys pressed down are : Ctrl + Shift + M ?
I know I need to use the e.KeyData
from the KeyEventArgs
, the Keys
enum and something with Enum Flags and bits but I'm not sure on how to check for the combination.
You need to use the Modifiers property of the KeyEventArgs class.
Something like:
//asumming e is of type KeyEventArgs (such as it is
// on a KeyDown event handler
// ..
bool ctrlShiftM; //will be true if the combination Ctrl + Shift + M is pressed, false otherwise
ctrlShiftM = ((e.KeyCode == Keys.M) && // test for M pressed
((e.Modifiers & Keys.Shift) != 0) && // test for Shift modifier
((e.Modifiers & Keys.Control) != 0)); // test for Ctrl modifier
if (ctrlShiftM == true)
{
Console.WriteLine("[Ctrl] + [Shift] + M was pressed");
}
I think its easiest to use this:
if(e.KeyData == (Keys.Control | Keys.G))
You can check using a technique similar to the following:
if(Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Control && Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Shift)
This in combination with the normal key checks will give you the answer you seek.
