HotKey, API amd windows apps

[Mansour]

Hi guys
I need help. I would like to have a new key
that does that same operation as "Ctrl+C".
I mean from ANYWHERE in windows just like
Ctrl+C, if I press, say F12, it performs
a 'COPY'.

Thanks.
Mansour.

This should work, use the GetAsyncKeyState to see if the F12 is pressed, if it is pressed use sendkeys to send a ctrl-c.

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer
Private Const VK_F12 As Long = &H7B

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Do
        If GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F12) <> 0 Then
            SendKeys "^C"
        End If
    Loop Until DoEvents = 0
End Sub
