Yeah well if there really is no way of knowing the status of those toggle-style keys, file it as a bug. I guess only the capslock is supported because all of the other ones have long gone on the macintosh keyboards or never existed. Thus, trying to implement them in your program will render it un-mu...

"if statements" become increasingly complex. I'm sure you will handle the small increase in complexity ;) Note that it's better to use a switch control structure in this case. on mouseUp switch the name of this card case "SpecialBehaviour1" -- behviour for a special card break case "SpecialBehaviou...

The need to save the labels of your buttons can be avoided all together by placing your user interfaces in a substack of your mainstack. Most of the time, one must manualy saves the user's changes to a file in the preference directory like you are doing only because standalones cannot be modified. W...

That still makes you duplicate lots of code. Every one of your fields must have the switch pKey part. What if you want to change the key that calls ModifyDate() ? You would have to correct the "case M" line in *every* field. A more elegant solution is to trap the KeyDown message in the card and then...

Why do you want to change the sound volume ? It's something you should let the user change if he wants to. I always hate applications which change my sound volume inadvertently. If you are using OS X it's easy just type: do "set volume output volume 80" as applescript If you're on Windows.. well... ...

i don't want to store preferences, i want to store data. what do i care about preferences at this point of my learning? It's the same thing: a preference is a piece of data. But as I said you'd better switch to the sub-stack method, since as your project will get bigger you might have more fields/d...

I agree with Klaus, if your application must change the resolution, then it's your interface that isn't thought out correctly, not the user's resolution settings. It's kinda against the human interface design guidelines. Why would you want to intrude on the user's choice like that, why do you need t...

The only suggestions I have is to vote for the corresponding bugs on the rev quality center. They might change something one day.
