Bob Thanks for the advice. In fact I am clicking on the gadget with the mouse but looking to detect the action using input from the Console (as described in the Devices manual). I suspect the problem is that I expected Intuition to handle the updating of the gadget image to display the next value. From re-reading the Includes and AutoDocs info on Gadtools I believe that this action is only carried out for free as a side effect of GT_GetIMsg (which the Console device doesn't know about). So either I have to write a complete set of processing routines to handle all the nasty combination (mouse+lshift, mouse+rshift etc) or I sidestep the problem and use gadtools completely. I'll have to think about this! Thanks for your help G.
