    trapping escape key without user input

    Hi,

     

    Does anyone know of a way to trap when the user hits the escape key without a user input function. The idea is to loop infinitely and perform some analysis until the user hits the escape key.

     

    I supose I could do the same thing with a form but I would not.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Please use plain text.

    This is the simplest example:

    This is a slightly different approach, and the example code does much more than what you are looking for, but not exactly what you are looking for, so you'd have to tweak it a bit.
