[Help]Hotkeys[Solved]

hai guys..
i want to add hotkeys for my program but they dont work...
i use at the Events of the form....
KeyDown>

Code:

if keys.f1 = true then
<action>
end if

so why they did not work?

PS:
there is Blubb

i will give you a tip.

Code:

e.

Although brinuz's will work with the form focussed, I find that global hotkeys are much better.

Add this declaration

[php]
Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vkey As Int32) As Int16
[/php]

And then simply change your code to this:

[php]
if GetAsyncKeyState(keys.f1) then
'<action>'
end if
[/php]

And that's all there is to it.

Make sure you put that in a timer and enable it ^.-

Thanks Kevin

Those that hotkey work even itf the form is not focused?

Just pointing it out so he doesn't put it into the keydown event ^_^

Keydown = only affects if the control is focused
Getasynckeystate = global

API's ftw ^^

It most certainly does! Try it out on a timer_tick event

[php]

If GetAsyncKeyState(Keys.F5) Then
MsgBox("OH MY SWEET LORD, J-DEEZY SAID THE TREWTH!")
End if

[/php]
