Keyboard Events

[Pinkesh Jain]

Hi,

I want to trap some specific keys (TAB and Esc) in my
application. But using the KeyDown and KeyPress events
doesn't help. What could be a possible alternative way to
do it. (Maybe using WinCe API?)
Any pointers to a sample implementation would be really
appreciated.

Also I want to register a combination of keys as a Hotkey
for invoking some desired functionality. I know there is
some RegisterHotKey() API function, what I'm not able to
invoke it correctly. Could someone point me to a sample
code which does the same.

Thanks.

Seems like I covered this for you recently. You can use a C/C++ DLL,
SetWindowsHookEx(), and a MessageWindow subclass to do this.

This may not work in the emulator, from what I've heard. You can search the
newsgroup archives via this link and I think you'll find at least some
sample code for RegisterHotKey():
