The preceding discussion implies the following general technique for handling user keyboard input in the KeyPress event procedure: Use the Chr function to convert KeyAscii to a character value. Manipulate or evaluate the character. Convert the newly derived character to lowercase.
If you need, you could un register the hot key when exiting your app. If you planing to distribute your app, then you should consider other methods. What is it? It is explained like this: Specifies the identifier of the hot key. If a hot key already exists with the same hWnd and id parameters, it is replaced by the new hot key. If the hWnd parameter is NULL, then the hot key is associated with the current thread rather than with a particular window.
Can I set its value to any number? No other hot key in the calling thread should have the same identifier. An application must specify a value in the range 0x through 0xBFFF. This is also used for UnRegisterHotKey to unregister a global hot key. I still dont understand. It says that shared dynamic-link library DLL specifies a value but in that example the value is set by programmer who wrote that code so i get to an conclusion that i can set the value for it.
Am i correct? Its a Hex value. NET VB. Advertiser Disclosure: Some of the products that appear on this site are from companies from which TechnologyAdvice receives compensation.

Several of these codes are still used for their original purpose in Visual Basic. These values are 8, 13, and 27, respectively. These key combinations are in addition to those listed in Table It's important that you be aware of these codes and their uses. Consider a program that needs to disable the entry of an escape command.
On the other hand, if a program disallowed the entry of any ASCII values less than 32, it might prevent the Tab and Enter keys from working properly. Remember, most keys can input one of two characters, depending on the state of the Shift key a and A, for example.
If it's important to your program to know which character has been input, use the KeyPress event. Every time a user presses a key on the keyboard, a KeyDown event is fired to the control that has the focus. When the key is released, a KeyUp event is fired. KeyUp and KeyDown are the event names. KeyCode is an integer that reports the KeyCode constant of the key being pressed or released. Shift is an integer that reports whether the Shift, Control, or Alt keys are also being held down see Table In addition to reporting which alphabetic key has been struck, the KeyCode parameter also can report whether users pressed a function key F1-F12 , a key on the numeric keypad, the arrow keys, or any other key.
When a key is pressed, Visual Basic sends a value to the KeyCode parameter that's reporting the key in question. The number sent to KeyCode is represented by a constant value, as shown in Table Many applications use the F1 key as their Help key, because most keyboard manufactures don't provide a separate key labeled Help. Windows, however, supports a Help key, so you may want to support both in your applications.
This code reports which function key has been pressed. It also reports the state of the Shift, Ctrl, and Alt keys. Using the KeyPreview Property Sometimes you want a form to process keyboard input, even if a control on a form has the focus. You use the form's KeyPreview property to do this. When you create a form, the default value of the KeyPreview property is False.
Thus, any keyboard input that you send to a control on the form a TextBox, for instance goes directly to that control. If you set the value of KeyPreview property to True, however, the form intercepts all keyboard input. You can then access the input through the form's keyboard event procedures. After the form handles the input, it's passed to the control with the focus. It then sends each respective string to its own TextBox control.
The form can intercept and distribute all the keyboard input to the various TextBoxes because the value of the KeyPreview property is set to True.
If you click the mouse, a Click event is fired. When you double-click, a DblClick event is fired. When you press a mouse button down, a MouseDown event is fired, whereas letting the mouse button up causes a MouseUp event. Every time the mouse moves, a MouseMove event occurs.
