Global hotkey

[yabune]

Hi,

What's the best way to register a global hotkey to a functionality of my application?
And how can I catch the event of that key in my application?

I tried to search in the forum, but I'm having some dificulties in having good results in the search function of the new forum.

Thank you!

Here's what I did:

Code: Select all

RegisterHotKey_(#Null, 0, #MOD_CONTROL, #PB_Shortcut_1)

; and in the main loop:
repeat
  ev=WaitWindowEvent()
  if ev=#WM_HOTKEY
    debug "key detected"
  endif
until ev=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
