Hi JezB
In MouseDown handler check the Control.ModifierKeys static property here you
can find the states of ALT, CTRL and SHIFT keys.

You mean something like,
if ((ModifierKeys & Keys.Control) == Keys.Control) //check if Ctrl key was
pressed, note bitwise &

cheers!!

How can this be done ? There's no Keys attribute in MouseEventArgs.

System.Windows.Forms.Control has a static 'ModifierKeys' property you can
access:

e.g.

using System.Windows.Forms;

....
if ( Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Control )
{
// CTRL key was pressed (and no other modifier)
}
....

n!
 
Use the static ModifierKeys property of the Control class:

if (Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Control)
{
// then the Ctrl key is down.
}
 
Typical !! Loads of people answer when you find the answer yourself - when
you are really stuck no-one gives a solution !! hehe

If you want to check if the control key is down even when other modifier
keys are down, use this code:

If Control.ModifierKeys And Keys.Control Then
...
End If
