Setting a Hot Key

Home |  Overview |  Sample

Your application can use the information provided by a hot key (CHotKeyCtrl) control in one of two ways:

• Set up a global hot key for activating a nonchild window by sending a WM_SETHOTKEY message to the window to be activated.
  
  
• Set up a thread-specific hot key by calling the Windows function RegisterHotKey.
