I know QPC2 works OK in this respect as long as Windoze lets it get the keypresses. Something is happening in Windows which stops QPC2 detecting these keypresses.
Geoff's suggestion of using ALTKEYs to work around it works fine. I used the 2, 4, 6 and 8 keys on the numeric keypad as they have arrows on them, so I defined 4 keys as follows and just have to remember to make sure num lock statys on: ALTKEY '2',CHR$(219): REM CTRL ALT down ALTKEY '4',CHR$(195): REM CTRL ALT left ALTKEY '6',CHR$(203): REM CTRL ALT right ALTKEY '8',CHR$(211): REM CTRL ALT up If I press either CTRL ALT left or just ALT left both return the same keycode on the numeric keypad, but different codes on the main keyboard (i.e. using the normal number keys above the letters). So obviously the two number keys are being detected as different keys and interpreted differently somewhere down the line so that in normal use they both emerge from QPC2 as number keys but not handled quite the same in combination with CTRL and ALT.
