WM_HOTKEY
The WM_HOTKEY message is posted when the user presses a hot key registered by
the RegisterHotKey function. The message is placed at the top of the message queue associated
with the thread that registered the hot key.
WM_HOTKEY
idHotKey = (int) wParam; // identifier of hot key
fuModifiers = (UINT) LOWORD(lParam); // key-modifier flags
uVirtKey = (UINT) HIWORD(lParam); // virtual-key code
Parameters
idHotKey
Value of wParam. Specifies the identifier of the hot key that generated the message. If the
message was generated by a system-defined hot key, the idHotKey parameter will be one of the following values:
Value
| Meaning
| IDHOT_SNAPDESKTOP
| The "snap desktop" hot key was pressed.
| IDHOT_SNAPWINDOW
| The "snap window" hot key was pressed.
|
fuModifiers
Specifies the keys that were to be pressed in combination with the key
specified by the nVirtKey parameter to generate the WM_HOTKEY message. The fuModifiers parameter can be a combination of the following values:
Value
| Meaning
| MOD_ALT
| Either ALT key was held down.
| MOD_CONTROL
| Either CTRL key was held down.
| MOD_SHIFT
| Either SHIFT key was held down.
| MOD_WIN
| Either WINDOWS key was held down. These keys appear only on the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard
and are labeled with the Microsoft Windows logo.
|
uVirtKey
Specifies the virtual key code of the hot key.
Remarks
WM_HOTKEY is unrelated to the WM_GETHOTKEY and WM_SETHOTKEY hot keys. The
WM_HOTKEY message is sent for generic hot keys while the WM_SET\GETHOTKEY messages
relate to window activation hot keys.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
