Bob posted a link to a simple groups google. From that link,
I found this in about 2 minutes:
<start>
In the main forms OnCreate handler assign the hotkey:
If not RegisterHotkey( Handle, 1, MOD_ALT or MOD_SHIFT, VK_F9 ) Then
ShowMessage('Unable to assign Alt-Shift-F9 as hotkey.');
In the main forms OnClose event remove the handler:
UnRegisterHotkey( Handle, 1 );
Add a handler for the WM_HOTKEY message to the form:
private // form declaration
Procedure WMHotkey( Var msg: TWMHotkey );
message WM_HOTKEY;
Procedure TForm1.WMHotkey( Var msg: TWMHotkey );
Var
S: String;
Begin
If msg.hotkey = 1 Then Begin
...do stuff
End;
End;
<end>
That translates to (with minor modifications):
#define MY_HOTKEY 0x0000 //0x0000 through 0xBFFF are valid
private: // User declarations
bool Registered;
MESSAGE void __fastcall WMHotKey( TWMHotKey &Message );
public:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP
VCL_MESSAGE_HANDLER( WM_HOTKEY, TWMHotKey, WMHotKey )
END_MESSAGE_MAP( TForm )
__fastcall TForm1(TComponent* Owner);
__fastcall ~TForm1();
//-------------------------------------------------------------
__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner) : TForm(Owner)
{
Registered = ::RegisterHotkey( Handle,
MY_HOTKEY,
MOD_ALT | MOD_SHIFT,
VK_F9 );
if( ! Registered )
{
ShowMessage( "Unable to assign Alt-Shift-F9 as hotkey." );
}
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------
__fastcall TForm1::~TForm1()
{
if( Registered )
{
::UnRegisterHotkey( Handle, MY_HOTKEY );
}
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------
MESSAGE void __fastcall TForm1::WMHotKey( TWMHotKey &Message )
{
TForm::Dispatch( &Message );
if( Message.HotKey == MY_HOTKEY )
{
// There you go.
}
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------
10 minutes total. You should have been able to do that
yourself with what Bob gave you.
