Hi. I want to capture special keys such as escape and return in my MaxGUI app but I don't seem to get any key events? Do I need to do anything special?
MaxGUI catching keypresses?
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/MaxGUI catching keypresses? ctrl, shift and alt are modifiers not key, for those you need to check for the modifier events
return should have its own handling as it is used on a "higher level" (usage of default button, new line in textarea etc) and not be usable

Ok. But what about escape then? I don't get any key events. Do I need to hookup to something?
Can't say.
Switched to modifier key combos when using Max (like ctrl - Q for quit and similar, as you can simply hook those up and it handels itself)

ozak: panels and canvases can get keyevevents, tho not quite 100% the way I like and surely not complete.
Create a window and a canvas, click on it and have some eventmonitor output to the debugwindow to see EventID()'s and EventData()'s. (Or look in the manual :P)

Look up SetHotKeyEvent.
Ahh thanks. SetHotKeyEvetn did the trick :)
