Determine if a key is pressed

Question

I need to determine if a key is pressed. I do not need an event to shoot, I just need to determine if a key is pressed to determine the path to the code. I looked around and there are cool GlobalKeyHook classes, but they are event based.

A small example, basically I need to determine if the user holds the key when my application starts, and if so, the application does one, the other reasonably starts as usual. Does anyone have any ideas?
