Title: Hotkeys
Post by: Bieb on April 18, 2005, 01:18:07 AM
How does one go about setting up a hotkey, so that your application can be brought up without having to click on a tray icon or window?

Hi,
  Seems you have to create some control with "msctls_hotkey32" as the classname. See this

Hi Robert,

Easy Code has the HotKey object.

When you generate a .lnk to a program file, you can also assign a shortcut key sequence as well.   This is also re-assignable by the user, just in case it conflict with something else.

P1: see Bieb's reply to Vortex

thomas: no need for a control

Ramon: nice solution, but I personally don't like Easy Code

My solution: use RegisterhotKey and put a WM_HOTKEY handler in your WndProc.

It was not so much as technique to as a comment about the technique, that it could be re-assigned by the user.  Having some control passed to the user is useful.
