GetAsyncKeyState() but for OS X?

Hi,

Does anybody know of an API call in Cocoa that I can easily integrate into my BMax project and will allow me to find out if a Modifier key (i.e. shift, control, system etc.) is being held down or not (without having to rely on a panel being activated at the time)?

Cheers

Sounds a bit hacky, Mr Seb ;-)

Hacky in an easy or hard way? :-)

Any perticular reason you need to hack in an api call? Modifier keys are just keys as far as blitz is concerned. The following code works for me on OS X and Windows.

If KeyHit(KEY_S) And KeyDown(KEY_LCONTROL) Then
' Save the S key was hit while the Left Control key was being held down
End If
