I want to trap ctrl-t but I can't the key code in any of the tables. Where do I look to find the ctrl-t code?

Don,

Maybe these notes from my files will help.

Alt key: Note that this is defined as VK_MENU in VKEY.CH (because this is the key that brings up the menu).

For Ctrl Key:

oObj:bKeydown := { | nKey | If( nKey == Asc( "C" ) .and. ;
GetKeyState( VK_CONTROL), ;
MyAction(), Nil ) }

For Alt Key:

oObj:bKeydown := { | nKey | If( nKey == Asc( "C" ) .and. ;
GetKeyState( VK_MENU ), ;
MyAction(), Nil ) }

GetKeyState() works perfectly for ALT key. Try this:

include "Fivewin.ch"

FUNCTION MAIN()

LOCAL oDlg

LOCAL oGet

LOCAL cVar := SPACE( 10 )

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg

@ 1, 1 GET oGet VAR cVar

oGet:bKeyDown = { | nKey | KeyHandle( nKey ) }

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg;
         CENTER

RETURN NIL

STATIC FUNCTION KEYHANDLE( nKey )

? GETKEYSTATE( VK_MENU )

RETURN NIL

Pressing CTRL alone you get .F. but pressing ALT and (keeping it
pressed) CTRL you get .T.. The problem is that, excluding CTRL, ALT+any
other key seems to not evaluate bKeyDown codeblock.

I suggested defining buttons with accellerator's, then hiding them.

I have tested the phantom button scheme (using their accelerators defined in
the PROMPT) suggested by James and Enrico and have got it working. It was
not necessary to :hide() them since I defined them @ 100,0 out of the
boundary of the little GET DIALOG in TCBROWSE. It was a bit tricky since a
code defined button is set as the default to be activated when ENTER so I
had to do a STYLE nor(WS_CHILD) so that my ENTER did not activate the
phantom buttons. So even though I can't trap ALT straight out, this is a
good workaround.
Thanks very much.
