Check out the RegisterHotKey API. It allows you to use it when the form isn't focused. You could make the hotkey run the code instead of the button, or simulate a click with the sub declaration.
For example, when you click button1, it also clicks button2:
| Code: | | Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click |
Notice the Handles Button1.Click, Button2.Click part.

Well I use this API
| Code: | | Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vkey As Integer) As Short |
Then all you need to do is check to see if it changed but using a If Then, like so
| Code: | If GetAsyncKeyState(112) Then
AdjustToolStripMenuItem.PerformClick()
end if |
That is checking if F1 was pressed. Also I think you have to put it on a timer.

Stop begging. You aren't going to learn with people just handing you things. Take the time to learn it yourself.

This is true. Only ask a question when you are truly stumbled and have tried all your options and nothing works.

| Code: | rivate Declare Function RegisterHotKey Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal id As Integer, ByVal fsModifiers As Integer, ByVal vk As Integer) As Integer
Private Declare Function UnregisterHotKey Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal id As Integer) As Integer
Public Const WM_HOTKEY As Integer = &H312
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
RegisterHotKey(Me.Handle.ToInt32, 0, 0, System.Windows.Forms.Keys.F11)'edit this for the hotkey you want
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
If m.Msg = WM_HOTKEY Then
'code for if they press hotkey here
Else
End If
End If
MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
UnregisterHotKey(Me.Handle.ToInt32, 0)
End Sub |
okaaaaaaay. I only got 1 hotkey working but i need 2 hot keys for start and stop what should I do?
