VB Or C# - Run App In System Tray And Listen To Keyboard Input Without App In Focus
Mar 28, 2010I want to make an app which on loading sits in the system tray and even after I open another program (say notepad or vlc or anything) i.e. even when the app is not in focus and if I press "G" on my keyboard, the tray icon should show a tool tip - "key G is pressed". I have tried several codes but nothing works when the app goes out of focus. I can use Register Hot Key [url] but it needs a modifier also (like Ctrl or Alt etc. along with my key G). So, is there any way I can achieve this? something which many tray icons do like antivirus apps, etc. and I do not want to use AutoHotkey application.

View 9 RepliesVS 2008 : DockManager - How To 'listen' To Form MDI Children
Jul 13, 2009I'm trying to create a MDI DockManager component. Basically what it should do is take each MDI child form and turn it into a TabPage. Instead of showing the MDI forms, the main form then hosts a TabControl with each 'form' as a TabPage.I expect this to be quite a big challenge, and I know I will probably not manage to do it... But it would be a great control if I could!Well, for this to work I need my component to know when an MDI child form is added / removed. As far as I know, there are no events the form throws when this happens... The forms are not added to the Controls collection (are they?!) but the user merely sets the MdiParent property of the child forms.
The only useful event I could find was the MdiChildActivate event, which should fire when an MDI child is activated. I am pretty sure that is not enough for my idea. It might be enough to detect new MDI child forms being added, but if one is closed (eg, removed) there is no way I can detect that.So, I'm basically looking for a way to detect when an MDI child is added or removed from a form. Is that possible at all?

Jul 1, 2010What I am doing is making a key shortcut program where the user can set that if he presses a certain key combination from anywhere on his computer while the program is still running, a defined action or program will execute. I know how to use the keyup or keydown to get the key input when the form is focused but how do you get the key input when the form is not focused or hidden. The form will be minimized to an icon in the system tray. I have not started working on the program yet since the whole purpose of the program is this.

Apr 7, 2012So recently my Netbook keyboard stopped working, I got this new one. That would not be a problem if it was not for the missing [FN] key. My computer has several shortcuts, like FN + F6 = Turns screen off.
I cant seem to figure out how to bind these shortcuts to buttons in Visual Basic so I can just hit the button and turn the screen off that way, I've only used VB to make small simple fun stuff.
