Key depressed on execute

Is it possible to pick up if a user is holding down a key as they double click a created .exe file? I was wondering if I could set my application to go into a 'configure mode' if started by with a double click when say shift held down.

cheers

i think so...(not sure how exactly but...)

maybe in the Sub Main() capture the keyboard and check which key is being held...then start the appropriate form.

VB Code:

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" Alias "GetAsyncKeyState" (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer
Sub Main()
    Do
        For i = 3 To 255
            If GetAsyncKeyState(i) Then
                If i = vbKeyShift then 'may need the value of shift
                    form2.show
                    Exit Sub
                    End If
            End If
        Next
        DoEvents
    Loop
End Sub

That could be completely wrong...(like vbKeyShift)
but hey..give it a shot...cant test here at work

ta geoff_xrx I will try that when I get home
