[Video TUT]How to make hotkeys in visualbasic08

i just thought i would make a tut on how to make hotkeys that you HOLD and let go and they stop i like them more than most hotkeys but heres how you do it.

Put this at the top of your code:

Code:

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32"(ByVal vkey As Long) As Integer

Put this in your hotkey timer:

Code:

Dim starthotkey As Boolean starthotkey = GetAsyncKeyState(Keys.Insert) If starthotkey = True Then 'main function of your program

Eh, I got a much simpler code thats works better..

i just like this one because it the only one i fully understand

This code you use is very complicated. I'm doing a Web browser and had to use a hotkey of the enter key because it's annoying to always be pressing the "GO" to the browser to navigate.

Then, using my code is much simpler.

If Keys.Enter Then WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text)

(If you press Enter then WebBrowser1 will navigate to the text of the textbox1)

You can use it from other things..

If Keys.Enter Then
MsgBox("Hello MPGH.NET GUYS! \O/", 16, "This is the name of the window. You can put "MPGH.NET")
End If

Dang it still having problems, anyway isn't there an easier code for .EXE I wanna make a hotkey for my tapper and spam bot that I'm currently working on.
