Control F1 keycode with TP7 under XP

Control F1 keycode with TP7 under XP

Control F1 keycode with TP7 under XP

(OP)
XP will not pass the control f1 keycode through to my program.
Control F2 goes through fine.  Is there a cure?

RE: Control F1 keycode with TP7 under XP

I have no trouble using function key combinations under XP Home (even in windowed mode). Try the following short program to test if windows is really the problem:

program test;
uses crt;
var ch,ch2 : char;

begin
  repeat
    ch:=readkey;
    write(byte(ch):4);
    if ch=#0
     then writeln(byte(readkey):5)
     else writeln;
  until ch=#27;
end.

Don't worry what people think about you. They're too busy wondering what you think about them.

RE: Control F1 keycode with TP7 under XP

(OP)
I ran your program and it does not react to the following control combinations.

control f1
control f3
control f6

I am using XP Pro and BP7.

RE: Control F1 keycode with TP7 under XP

Maybe you keyboard has some loose contacts; do these key combinations work in other (non-DOS) applications?

I found it.
WinDVD had programmed the Control F1 keystroke.  It was being intercepted and not sent to the TP ide or TP programs.

Thanks,
