Check for shift key modifier during commandbutton press

Sometimes I want Commandbuttons to perform a different task when
modified by a shift key. I cannot find a way to do this other than by
using a Label that is made to look and behave like a Commandbutton.
This works fine except for slight vertical text centering shift and
the extra effort invovled. Is there an easier way to do this? I'm
using 2004.

Thanks,

Hi there,

You could look at the GetKeyboardState API to test if the shift key
was pressed when the code for the commandbutton is pressed

Thanks Anthony. This worked great and has allowed for a new dimension
to Acad VBA interface options. For example, while within a select
element operation one can test for key modifiers that signal the VBA do
perform variations to its normal operation. So while running the same
command it is possible to perform different command variations on the
fly. Thanks again.
