I have some code that is supposed to detect when a key has been pressed and then released before it displays the correct text:

I want both actions to be completed before it changes the text around.

As you can see, i'm waiting for pressed and released bools to be set before it changes the text around. The problem is, is that it is changing the text as I press the key in, and not waiting until it has popped back out.

Its probably something really simple that i'm missing here so I thought I'd ask you guys.

It looks like in main that WM_KEYUP is being fired off and the values changed even though the key hasn't been released. I working this out by commenting out the lines where the bool's are being set on a key press. If I do this the mode doesn't change.

Any idea's why WM_KEYUP is being fired as soon as the key is pressed inwards?
