Hi,

does anyone know how to intercept the SHIFT key while opening a vb.net or C#
windowsforms application?
I would like to do something like MS Access when excluding autoexec macros.

thanks

Maybe you can check the Control.Modifiers to see if teh shift is pressed.

public Form1(): base()
{
InitializeComponent();
if((Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Shift) != 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("Shift key pressed");
}
}

Thanks for your help Herfried
but my application starts with the Sub Main routine.
Is there another solution?

If you cannot use Control.ModifierKeys, then you can try to use interop and
call GetKeyState directly. How to do this is shown in this FAQ.

George Shepherd's Windows Forms FAQ contains an entry entitled:

How do I check the state of the virtual keys, Caps lock for example?
