I have this code which works just fine for a single key press:

If e.KeyCode = 236 Then
            MsgBox("alt")     'Alt key is pressed
End If

how do i code it when i want to capture the event wherein both "ALT'
key and   a number/letter  key are pressed simultaneously?

i tried this:

but i can't seem to make it work on my smartphone wm6 device

The KeyUp or KeyDown event handler passes a KeyEventArts.  This class 
contains the key that was pressed and booleans indicating if the alt, control 
or shift key is pressed.  You can capture your number key and check the 
additional arguments.  See the following link:

Hi,

Try to look at the function GetAsyncKeyState.

Thank you for the replies.
GetAsyncKeyState function worked well.
