Detecting key held down for a long time

[haha01haha01]

Hi,
I am creating a certain graphical tool and would like to implement a system that can detect and react to keys being held down for more than just a key press (sort of like how in Explorer, for example, when you select a file and press one of the arrows it moves your selection once, and then after the key is held for a second it starts moving fast).
What would be an efficient way to do such a thing while having the rest of the application run normally?

I'm pretty sure that's just the key repeat delay and speed.

Check your Keyboard control panel.

Oh. I see. Wow, that was simpler than I thought. Although I think that when you call an event handler "KeyPress", you are expecting it to be called only when the key is pressed. Lol.
