Read Alt-F1 in DGV double-click?

[nbrege]

I want to have a feature in my program where if I hold Alt-F1 down while double-clicking on a DataGridView cell, it goes & does something. I tried This:

 Private Sub ProcessDataGridView_CellDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles ProcessDataGridView.CellDoubleClick

        If Control.ModifierKeys = (Keys.Alt Or Keys.F1) Then
            'do something here 
        End If

    End Sub

If I use just Keys.Alt alone it works when I hold the Alt key & double-click, but I want ALt-F1. Can anyone help me out? Thanks...

Did yopu try Keys.Alt + Keys.F1

That's because F1 is not a modifier key.

OK, so then it possible to read the Alt-F1 combo?

Try this: Put the following code into the keydown event:

        If e.Alt = True AndAlso e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then
            'set a global bit = true
        Else
            'set bit = False
        End If

Use the bit as a flag. Then when you click on the box have it check the bit. Now you know if the keycombo was pressed or not!

Good Luck,

Thanks dminder, that works. Is this the only way it can be done?

[dminder]

The key is that you have to detect the keypress prior to editing the cell. The keypress and the cell edit are 2 totally separate subs and do not know what the other is doing with out 3rd party assistance (enter the boolean).

I cannot think of any other way to do it, but if there are, I am sure others will post it!!

Good Luck again!
