Polling mouse status directly without MouseEvent?

[Toll]

I'm currently trying to figure out if a mouse button is held down, but I'd rather not have to rely on setting booleans on the MouseEvents Pressed and Released, as that can cause problems if you alt-tab out of the program. Is there a way to poll the status of the mouse buttons directly as there is with the mouse position?

Also, same question but with modifier keys (shift, ctrl, etc)?

To answer your two questions: No, and no.

Was afraid of that :( Back to booleans, I suppose. Thanks!

Also... Where did the option to solve the thread go? Was it a planned vanishing act when migrating to the new forum software?
