Solved it using GetKeys from carbon.
#define keyArrowLeft 0x7b
#define keyArrowRight 0x7c
#define IsKeyDown(keyMap, theKey) (((unsigned char *)(keyMap))
[(theKey) / 8] & 1 << ((theKey) % 8))
BOOL isTranslatedKeyDown(KeyMap map, unichar key); //for space and
similar characters from GT category
//thanks to Pierre-Olivier Latour and Jonathan Grynspan

Hi,
I need to check if a specific key is pressed while receiving a drag.
When drags come from inside the process a keydown event is
generated as currentEvent and I can get that but for drags from
other applications I dont get such an event. I tried getKeys from
the carbon layer. I tried the following category on http://
www.ghosttiger.com/?p=136 and I can detect presses of CHARACTERS
just fine. A b C d <<SPACE>> as the keycodes get translated to
unichars for me.
What I cant do is detecting arrow keys.
The cateogry returns wrong unichar values for it.... Well all arrow
keys translate to the same unichar for me...
And I dont know how to interpret what getKeys tells me...... sure I
can just take the raw codes from the KeyMap but those seem to be
different for different keyboards. (not to mention architectures!?)
So... how does one go about detecting these keys (Is getKeys the
correct way?). All the Hotkey tools do it!?
Regards,
Dominik
