LastKey() returns the code of the key used to terminate the Read statement, and it's a function which existed since Fox for DOS, i.e. it was written before Windows were an option for Fox (and when it had Unix and Mac versions).

Thanks Dragan, very interesting. I wrote a little test program which accepts a keystroke into INKEY() and then does various other processing (just arbitrary stuff but no further keyboard input) and then tested LASTKEY() and it returns the value that was returned in the initial INKEY() function. This little program has no READ in it. Does running a bit of code using "execute code" use an implied READ or something?

Anyway, too bad if there is no API to call because WinDev does not have a LASTKEY() function and I was hoping to be able to know whatever the last key pressed was no matter where or when pressed. It has INKEY() equivalent but no LASTKEY().

Thanks
