Hi,
One of our customers uses a keyboard with two Alt-keys. Whenever he presses the Alt_K or Alt_P with the left Alt-key, the inkey() value in xHarbour is as expected in inkey.ch. However, if he user the right Alt-Key, inkey() returnes totally different values, and sometimes right Alt_K doesn't seem to trigger the application the leave the wait state inkey(0) at all. I did google for "Right Alt problem windows", but couldn't find anything useful. Any suggestions? Thanks, Gerard |

Thanks David! I'll try to find a workaround for this "feature".
