>I'm a little frustrated here. Does anyone know if it's possible, and how, to trap the duration of a key-press event in VFP? I have various versions available (up to 9) but cannot find any way of doing this. I'm assuming this is not supported via general VFP functions but I'm looking for any solution with decent resolution (on the order of 5ms or there about). Any thoughts? I'm attempting to build a Morse code trainer in VFP as I've not really found a single piece of S/W out there that does all the things I'd like in a true Morse trainer. If anyone's interested in this, I plan on making this GNU/Open Source with detailed plans for a USB interface to a Morse key. To be able to do this properly in VFP will require being able to detect the length (in ms) of a key-press event. If it turns out there's no obvious way to do this in VFP then I'll have to (ugh :p) do this in VB.

If you could bind it to a mouse click, then you could record the time (in milliseconds resolution) using seconds() in mouseDown() and again in mouseUp() and check the difference.

Or you could use some ActiveX which would have a KeyDown and KeyUp event to the same effect.
