Get the status of CTRL key in MouseDown event

[Boaz Ben-Porat]

Is there any way to determine if the CTRL key is pressed from a MouseDown
event on a DataGrid ?

Check out Control.ModifierKeys property.

the function you are looking for is Control.ModifierKeys

private void dataGrid1_MouseDown(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
if ( (Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Control) == Keys.Control )
Debug.WriteLine( Control.ModifierKeys.ToString() );
}

Thats the relevant code you need. Note, if you don't AND the
ModifierKeys with the key you want you won't be able to tell if
Control is pressed when other modifier keys are pressed also.
