Terrific program … you can’t imagine how long I’ve wanted this … well, maybe you can. Three minor annoyances:
1. (Same issue as sparky04cr) Custom key modifiers not sent when buttons double sized.
2. “Check for update” always reports “update available”.
3. Option dialog opens too low and to the right. In landscape, the bottom row of buttons is covered by the task bar; in portrait the right edge is off screen. (Windows Vista, 1280×800, single height taskbar at the bottom of the screen.

But these are truly minor! Thanks again!

I too am having an issue with the pen enabled sensitivity. Essentially after using a modlock button, I lose pen sensitivity on the first stroke. I found a few things that might be helpful:

1, I can right-click so that it becomes my first stroke and sensitivity is back (a bit annoying but better than having a giant splotch at 100%)
2. The timer-based deactivation of alt, ctrl, shift and space doesn’t have this issue (which is what i have set to now that I know it helps). Is there something in the code that is happening with timer feature that is inadvertedly fixing that? Maybe it could be used for the other buttons and modes?

Btw, I love this tool. It’s extremely useful.

The hard drive in my Tablet PC died last week and I’ve had to rebuild my system. When I reinstalled Modlock, I got the MSCOMCTL.OCX error when clicking the Opt button.

My solution was to download the file from here:

http://www.ocxdump.com/download-ocx-files_new.php/ocxfiles/M/MSCOMCTL.OCX/6.01.9782/download.html

…and after getting the file, I simply place it in my Modlock directory (where the Modlock.exe is located.) Clicking the Opt button works fine now, so it is not necessary to install the file in the Windows directory.

the windows key as a modifier would be great

Windows 7 x64 and MSCOMCTL.OCX error -

Fix I have found:
Get a copy of the ‘MSCOMCTL.OCX’ file and put it into ‘Windows\SysWOW64′ directory. The one from an XP machine works fine.
Register the file – Start ‘command prompt’ session as ‘administrator’ – browse to the \Windows\SysWOW64 directory – and type ‘regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx’ at the prompt. You should get a pop-up windows stating that the file was registered.
Run the ‘Modlock’ again. Should run fine, at least it worked for myself.

My issue:
When using ‘vertical’ or ‘double sized’ settings – any custom key combination set will not use a selected ‘shift /alt /ctrl’ key combination. All that shows and gets used is the key itself. The program works fine in ‘horizontal/normal’ settings. I have tried this on XP and Windows 7 x64 platforms.

I find a solution, it’s OK if I run this program in Windows XP compatibility mode

Does it work with Windows Seven 32bits?
Each time I click on OPT I have the error “Runtime error 339. Component ‘MSCOMCTL.OCX’ or one of its dependencies not correctly registered. A file is missing or invalid”. Installing MVB 6.0 or installing MSCOMCTL.OCX alone isn’t helpfull at all with Seven

Modlock now updated to allow Shift / Alt / Ctrl along with the additional customisable keys.
