Hi all, firstly i know that i can use the getkeystate command to detect whether a key is pressed i.e. if getkeystate(vbkeyup) < 0 then...

What i wondered is, does the value returned mean anything usefull? Values i keep getting are 0,1,-128,-127 and i can't see any connection with the state of the key it checks, apart from if it's negative the user is pressing it.

Thanks for any posts.
