Hi! Is there a simple method to determine whether the Shift key was pressed together with another one? For example, I want to do different actions on 'u' and 'U'.

UPD: cv::getBuildInformation() output

This might not be possible with opencv only on all platforms. Consider using another library (or win32/X11 API)

waitKey returns the ASCII code for the letter. It is different for uppercase and lowercase letters.

char c = cv::waitKey();
if(c == 'u') {}
if(c == 'U') {}

It was first, what I've tried, but I am getting 'u' (117) in both cases. I've added OpenCV build info in my question.

I have similar problem, in my case, cvWaitKey does not really capture the difference between lower and upper case letters. A colleague told me that he solved this problem by compiling openCV from sources. I guess it might have smth to do with 64bit

I just tried it using build 2.4.3 and I received uppercase and lowercase letters as typed.
