Hi, old timers will know I've not posted in ages, but I hope I'm still good for some advice!

Anyway, I've been doing a lot of programming, mostly in Cocoa-java, but I've come across a problem. I've got a button that I want to do three different things depending on whether control, option or nothing is held down while the button is clicked. I've got the button attached to a method/action and naturally, it does the correct thing when I just press it.

How do I find out which key was held down at the same time as the button was pressed?

TIA for your help.

I only know how to do it in ObjectiveC. Figuring out the java calls shouldn't be hard.

You want to look in NSEvent and NSApplication.

if ([[NSApp currentEvent] modifiers] == NSControlKeyMask) {
[do something];
}

NSApp is just a shortcut for [NSApplication sharedApplication]
