I was wondering on how i can make multiple global hotkeys and have them show message boxes just so i can learn and expand from there. Like have one be ctrl + alt + F1 and the other be ctrl + alt + F2.

I have been trying over the past few days to make a program sit open on the computer, waiting for a key press (which will be the hotkey). When the key is pressed, it will execute a peice of code and minimize itself. Im really sorry if this is too simple but im stumped over this one. I have searched google alot but no luck
So: I need to know how I can have the program 'monitoring' or 'looking for' a certain key press while it is doing something to tell it to stop, bearing in mind when the program actually starts it will minimise and stay minimised untill this hotkey is pressed that makes it maximise itself and stop the program.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to keep from extensions from appearing as global subs, even when you are not dealing with the relevant type? I guess from how they are created, they always show up as global functions whenever I use intellisense, which, depending upon how many extensions there are, can be a pain. I want them to appear only as methods to the relevant type variable.
View 3 RepliesI have an array of comboboxes on a form. They are declared at the beginning. I wish to make these global variables so I can access them in another form. This does not appear to work.
Code something like this:
Public Class SecondScreen
Public OutputSelectControl() As Combobox = {O1, O2, O3, O4}
Where O1 O2 etc are the names of my comboboxes on this form. I wish to be able to address them from another form like so
localformvariablehere = OutputSelectControl(integervariablehere).Index

View 7 RepliesI seem to have a bit of a problem with the ICShartEditor text editor. It works fine for me in a Windows Forms app, except that if I have a button (or any other control) on the same form that defines a hotkey (like ALT-S for a Save button), then whenever I try to type 'S' in the text editor (or whatever the hotkey might be), then it triggers the hotkey rather than adding the character to the text.What appears to be happening under the hood is that all the ProcessMnemonic() methods for all controls of the form run, so those methods kick in and handle the keypress, which I would think should only happen if a key like the ALT-key is pressed.

I've written a simple WAV player in VB 2010 - a Windows Form App with no menus. I'm trying to create a hotkey, like CTRL-D that would make a text box visible. Typing the correct password in the box will expand the form and show some Administrative functions. I'm having issues creating the hotkey with more than one key.I've got the following code, but it does not work. I do have KeyPreview set to True.
Private Sub _KeyDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Control And e.KeyCode = Keys.D Then
txtPWD.Visible = True
I've also tried
If e.Keycode = Keys.ControlKey & e.KeyCode = Keys.D
and many other variations including changing to ALT and SHIFT but nothing seems to work. If I remove one of the Keys, it works just fine.

I'm trying to make a prank program that registers all of the letter keys on the keyboard and then will make random message boxes pop-up when you press certain ones, or just re-arrange the letters.But before adding any pranks, I'm trying to just get all of the hotkeys to work like a normal keyboard because when you register a key to be a hotkey, it no longer works for anything else. So registering "e" in the program will cause "e" to do nothing when your in notepad or something.
So far I've gotten pretty much everything to work except for this weird Shift bug. Whenever I press Shift and then a letter, the Sendkeys will correctly send the uppercase key, however as soon as I release shift and press a key without it, it still keeps the uppercase for one more letter.So if I press Shift + E then "E" will be successfully sent to Notepad, but then if I just press "b", "B" will be sent instead, but then after that first error it will successfully send lowercase again.
I was using wordlabel to store the letters so as to see if the shift uppercase problem was something in my coding, but actually when I press Shift + A and then just press a, it will do Aa in the label but AA in a program with the focus, like Notepad. So I don't know if this is a problem with Sendkeys or what but does anyone know of a solution?
How would I use "custom Hotkeys"? For example, if my textbox's text is F5, then how would I use GetAsyncKeyState to get "F5"?
