Public Declare Auto Function SendMessage Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWnd As
IntPtr, ByVal wMsg As Int32, ByVal wParam As Int32, ByVal s As String)
As Int32
Const WM_SETHOTKEY As Long = &H32
Const HotKey_Alt_F12 As Long = &H47B

Private Sub MainFrm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

SendMessage(Me.Handle, WM_SETHOTKEY, HotKey_Alt_F12, 0)

End Sub


This example will create a system-wide Hotkey combination of Alt-F12.
Press this combination and your application will be given the focus,
even if it's been minimized. (Watch for wrapping)

Hope this helps.
