Using RegisterHotKey or GetAsyncKeyState won't cause such an issue |
JohnH from vbdotnetforums made a class which makes it able to use hotkeys outside of the focused form. I use it quite regulary.
The class it attatched to this post and you can add it to your form using "Add Existng Item". Once you have added it to your project, add this code to your main form.vb code:
| Code: | Private Sub frmDiv_FormClosed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs) _
Handles Me.FormClosed
hots.Unregister()
End Sub
Private Sub frmDiv_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
hots = New NSHotkey.Hotkeys(Me)
setuphotkeys()
End Sub
WithEvents hots As NSHotkey.Hotkeys
Sub setuphotkeys()
'Ctrl+J
hots.Add(New NSHotkey.HotKey("ctrlj", Keys.J, NSHotkey.HotkeyModifiers.MOD_CONTROL))
'Shift+H
hots.Add(New NSHotkey.HotKey("shifth", Keys.H, NSHotkey.HotkeyModifiers.MOD_SHIFT))
'Win+A
hots.Add(New NSHotkey.HotKey("wina", Keys.A, NSHotkey.HotkeyModifiers.MOD_WIN))
End Sub
Private Sub hots_Hotkey(ByVal e As NSHotkey.HotKeyEventArgs) Handles hots.Hotkey
MsgBox(e.Key.AtomString)
Select Case e.Key.AtomString
Case "ctrlj"
Case "shifth"
Case "wina"
End Select
End Sub |
That is just an example but you see where the cases are coming from. I hope this helps you and your future development.

| It may be impressive but people don't need ways to make themselves lazier.
