My fault. I guess I totally misunderstood your problem.

When you wrote "works really good" I assumed that the code example was 
working to your satisfaction and that you were asking a hypothetical 
question.

Anyhow, if the TreeView notifications don't give you the state of the 
shift keys, you might have to consider calling either "GetAsyncKeyState" 
or "GetKeyState" , or maybe even "GetLastInputInfo" to find out if the 
shift key(s) are down or up.
