How can I check the state of the modifier keys (Alt, Control, Shift) when
there is no System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs-object available (i.e. when
not responding to a key-event)?

Just to clarify, Form.ModifierKeys is actually Control.ModifierKeys.

It is not reliable inside a KeyUp/Down (and perhaps Press) event, but
outside if should be fine.
