I writing a WPF windows app in c# and want to determine if the user has
pressed the control key and the 'c' key at the same time similar to the
standard windows 'copy' shortcut keys. How would I go about this?

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for my delayed response.

To determine if the user has pressed the control key and the 'c' key at the
same time on a WPF window, we could subscribe the KeyDown event of the
window and check the pressed keys in the event handler.

The following is a sample.
public partial class Window1 : System.Windows.Window
{

public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Window1_KeyDown);
}

void Window1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyboardDevice.Modifiers == ModifierKeys.Control && e.Key
== Key.C)
{
MessageBox.Show("You have pressed Ctrl+C.");
}
}
}

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
