Do you know for certain that the KeyCaps program isn't polling the state of the key, as others here have showed you how to do in LiveCode? If not, what is the name or the OS X API which sends that message? It's not entirely inconceivable that OS APIs may differ from one another. Seems far more likely than the folks at RunRev sitting around their conference table thinking of ways that many years later they may be able to thwart Richmond's plans. ;) -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
