Codenstuff.com

first of all what u do is get a button or somethin then go to its property`s and u will see shortcutkeys. just open it and set the keys and you do not need any timrs or codr so yea try it out. sorry for bad langage like misspellling . im writing from dsi. its hard to wrte:( if u want the code way then i will right it tomo since im not on my pc now and it gonna take forrvrr bye;)

what?

lol that is how ot add hotkeys instead of writing the keypreview codE

I didn't get it at all, rewrite it when you're on your computer please.
and I like the KeyPreview, it's easy

ok so if u want the keypreview thingy then just do is like go to ur form1 properties and not the form1_load like the one in the right side and find keypreview and enable it to true.

The nwhat u do is use the command below

in any of ur button or like component keydown option put thijs code in


if e.keycode= keys.alt+keys.controlkey then
'do something hear. and also where it is keys.alt and keys.controlkey u can choose ur keys like for ur cordination u used alt +Z so u can put is keys.alt+keys.z.

and then

End IF


Sorry for a weird explanation hope u understood and for some reason on my comp this wouldn;t work but it did work on my friends comp so i tried using my first example and tat one worked so i thought that would maybe workk for all


Happy now?

lol

Good Luck with ur app

What you said in your first post is different from what you just told me.

What I do is just do KeyPreview = True in form_load then use the e.KeyCode command

Just a quick tip

when you use e.Keycode = Keys.keys

it won't work if your form is not focus

Meaning if you Minimize it and click on another application, the hotkeys won't work :P

the way I that I use hotkey it work even though your form is NOT focus

o ok

so yeah Keys.key is only good if you're using it in the program ( while it's focus )
Otherwise it's no good

yea can u show me how to do it out of focus as that will be rlly helpful for a program i m trying to code.
