Hi,
I have added a button to the standard toolbar in Internet Explorer
backed by a COM object.On button click, the web browser speaks the
content in the web page. All this works fine. Now, I would like to add
hot key to this button so that user enjoys this functionality on just
using the combination of keys. Is it possible to do this? Please direct
me to some material or somebody kindly help me in this regard.

Thanks and Regards,
Sujoan.
 
Hi Sujoan,

You can try this link but it doesn't look like its what you want

http://www.qliner.com/hotkeys/

The only other way is to create a bho to capture the keystrokes from the
active explorer window.

A less eloquent way is to use an exe instead of a dll for your speak
component and then use a windows hotkey to launch the exe. When the exe runs
it should find the top IE window and from there you can hook into the
document to read it.
 
Hi Rob,
Thank you for your valuable idea. I will try with BHO.

Thanks and Regards,
Sujoan.
