Hi macuiare and welcome to Visual Basic. You can use the hook to track down hotkeys but that is not a good way of doing it. The library will work but there is one problem with it. Let’s say some application has installed a hotkey and you want the same hotkey to track with in your application. That makes the other application unusable. I have a class in my signature that is called “HotKeyManager Class” that can be used to install hotkey for your application. I would recommend you to use this class for hotkeys.

But to answer to your question how to add library to your project you need to add reference to the WindowsHookLib.dll in your project by adding it from project properties -> reference tab.
