Get modifiers upon keyboard hook event

[alonrks]

Hi, I was looking to get via KeyboardEventData structure, value indicating the key that was pressed, plus any modifier keys currently pressed. For example, Keys.A|Keys.LControl for LCtrl+A.
The KeyboardEventData class does not provide such information, is there a way to get modifier key state from keyboard state using your library?
There is a away to get keyboard state via calling GetKeyboardState, handle it in a callback and ensure the keyboard state accurately reflects the modifiers, but I would like to insure with you first, maybe you plan to integrate such important information.

Thank you for your time.

Hi! Thanks for asking!

This information is already available, and not just in keyboard events, but in all events. As such, it's contained directly in the UioHookEvent instead of KeyboardEventData (or MouseEventData, or MouseWheelEventData). UioHookEvent contains the Mask field which represents the mask of the currently pressed modifiers. ModifierMask is an enum of possible modifiers and has extension methods to query the modifiers in a more convenient way.

You can access the event object inside the global hook event handler through the RawEvent property of HookEventArgs.
