i''m currently using GetAsyncKeyState(), but i''m havin trouble with getting the states of 3 keys-down together (up+left+space for example), it only returns me the first two

anyway, i wanted to ask before ill waste my time porting to DirectInput, if there''s a way to read more than 2 key states at once. if not using GetAsyncKeyState(), does anybody has experience reading more then 2 keys at once with DirectInput? 10x, Gil

You can trace the keyboard by chacking Key status.
Test the return values of "GetKeyState" if the high-order bit is 1, the key is down; otherwise, it is up.
Remeber what is pressed and what is released. Then user can press all the keyboard and yet not miss anything.

If GetAsyncKeyState(VK_SPACE) <> 0 Then
''Key is pressed...
EndIf
