Hi.....

It seems that Keyboard.Async..... keys do not work when running XP under Parallels..... and I do not have an XP machine to test without Parallels.

Has anyone else seen this and can confirm?

Here is what I did to test this directly:

In a new project I put StaticText1 field on Window1.... then I added a multiple mode Timer on the window with this code in the Action event.

 StaticText1.text = "None"
 if Keyboard.AsyncShiftKey then
   StaticText1.text = "Shift Key"
 end if
 if Keyboard.AsyncAltKey then
   StaticText1.text = "Alt Key"
 end if
 if Keyboard.AsyncCommandKey then
   StaticText1.text = "Command Key"
 end if
 if Keyboard.AsyncControlKey then
   StaticText1.text = "Control Key"
 end if
 if Keyboard.AsyncOptionKey then
   StaticText1.text = "Option Key"
 end if
 if Keyboard.AsyncOSKey then
   StaticText1.text = "OS Key"
 end if

Under OSX the text changes as expected as I press and hold each of those keys..... under XP it does not change.

I also played around with the Parallels keyboard Preferences but that did not seem to help.

I am running Parallels 4.0.3810 under OSX 10.5.6.


Same set up here and it works fine for me ...
