Question: How can I detect if a given key was pressed during application
startup?
Answer:
Use the Windows API function GetKeyState() to determine if a key is
pressed in the main project source. To get to the main project's
source file, select from the IDE's main menu, select
"View""ProjectSource".
program Project1;
uses
Windows,
Forms,
Unit1 in 'Unit1.pas' {Form1};
{$R *.RES}
begin
if GetKeyState(vk_F8) MessageBox(0, 'F8 was pressed during startup', 'MyApp', mb_ok);
Application.Initialize;
Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);
Application.Run;
end.
