KeyDown Event (ExCalendar)

KeyDown and KeyUp event procedures if you need to respond to both the pressing and releasing of a key. You test for a condition by first assigning each result to a temporary integer variable and then comparing shift to a bit mask. Use the And operator with the shift argument to test whether the condition is greater than 0, indicating that the modifier was pressed, as in this example:

ShiftDown = (Shift And 1) > 0
CtrlDown = (Shift And 2) > 0
AltDown = (Shift And 4) > 0

In a procedure, you can test for any combination of conditions, as in this example:
If AltDown And CtrlDown Then

		Type	Description
		KeyCode as Integer	An integer that represent the key code.
		Shift as Integer	An integer that corresponds to the state of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys at the time of the event. The shift argument is a bit field with the least-significant bits corresponding to the SHIFT key (bit 0), the CTRL key (bit 1), and the ALT key (bit 2). These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. Some, all, or none of the bits can be set, indicating that some, all, or none of the keys are pressed. For example, if both CTRL and ALT are pressed, the value of shift is 6.
