Check for SHIFT key

[Guitarm]

Is there a specific reason for checking if the SHIFT key is used in HubFrame::onChar?

Like:

Code: Select all

if( (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) & 0x8000) )

Or should one check for both like:

Code: Select all

if( (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL)) || (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) & 0x8000) )

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want.
But if you wanted to check if the shift key is down you would use

Code: Select all

if( (GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) & 0x8000) ) 

Or should one check for both like:

Code: Select all

if( (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL)) || (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) & 0x8000) )

I don't think that would accomplish anything useful as the info of the return value is stored in the high and the low bit of the return value.

The return value specifies the status of the specified virtual key, as follows:

* If the high-order bit is 1, the key is down; otherwise, it is up.
* If the low-order bit is 1, the key is toggled. A key, such as the CAPS LOCK key, is toggled if it is turned on. The key is off and untoggled if the low-order bit is 0. A toggle key's indicator light (if any) on the keyboard will be on when the key is toggled, and off when the key is untoggled

Oh, I misunderstood. The 0x8000 checks if the key is in it's "pressed down" mode. Thanks for clarification.
