HotKeyManager

HotKeyManager was developed to be a component that allows you to add system hotkeys to your application. A system hotkey allows your app. to invoke a custom action from anywhere. Your app. doesn't have to be in the foreground or even visible.

The following demos are distributed with HotKeyManager: - TestHotkeyManager - Main demo of HotKeyManager features. Especially interesting are the several different ways you can add hotkeys. - DualHotkeys - Demonstrates how to change already registered hotkeys, and gives you an idea of how to handle multiple hotkeys in your apps. - ListAllHotKeys - Lists all system-wide hotkeys currently in use in Windows. - ListVirtualKeyNames - Shows a list of virtual key names. The list is useful if you have to get the numeric value of a non-alphanumeric key that doesn't have a VK_xxx constant, like '/'. - HotKeyDll - A simple demo of using HotKeyManager in a DLL, then calling the DLL from an application. - HotKeyService - Example of using HotKeyManager in a service.
