    Resolved [RESOLVED] Hotkeys with Shift

    I'm trying to make a prank program that registers all of the letter keys on the keyboard and then will make random message boxes pop-up when you press certain ones, or just re-arrange the letters.

    But before adding any pranks, I'm trying to just get all of the hotkeys to work like a normal keyboard because when you register a key to be a hotkey, it no longer works for anything else. So registering "e" in the program will cause "e" to do nothing when your in notepad or something.

    So far I've gotten pretty much everything to work except for this weird Shift bug. Whenever I press Shift and then a letter, the Sendkeys will correctly send the uppercase key, however as soon as I release shift and press a key without it, it still keeps the uppercase for one more letter.

    So if I press Shift + E then "E" will be successfully sent to Notepad, but then if I just press "b", "B" will be sent instead, but then after that first error it will successfully send lowercase again.

    ****

    I was using wordlabel to store the letters so as to see if the shift uppercase problem was something in my coding, but actually when I press Shift + A and then just press a, it will do Aa in the label but AA in a program with the focus, like Notepad. So I don't know if this is a problem with Sendkeys or what but does anyone know of a solution?
