I am using form events to do it. On KeyDown, I do set a variable to true and on KeyUp, I do set it to false, with validation for the input key, of course, and it does work fine.

If you hold the key, what happens? The condition is true only one time? If not, maybe you don't need to detect if it's hold?

Sorry if my questions seem useless And sorry for my bad english, too; I'm french canadian.

Chess,

I have temporary solution to my problem.
I dont know why i did not came up with it at beginning,, meaby i was thinking 2 hard haha.

So what i have done is made little counter .
it counts if you hold key and when no keys are pressed it will Reset to 0 .

so if the counter is bigger then 5 then i see that as hold
if it is smaller then 5 then it is pressed.

Anyway it works now,,, if someone knows better and faster way please let me know.

A counter? You don't have to know how long the key is hold, do you? So maybe a boolean variable is better, isn't?

Yoda master,

i know boolean is possible, but if you want to let someone hold the key for a while then counter is better.

You are right, I didn't understand what you wanted to do! But a counter is not "frame-rate proof"! Maybe a timestamp is better, isn't?
