That application has a shortcut for open and it is "Ctrl+O",but how to run with my vb.net application??

[incidentals]

you just press ctrl+O when the form has focus!

or are you talikg about writting the action openfile that happens once you click on the menu item?

Public Class Form1
    'Button1=RUN button
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("calc")

    End Sub
    'Button2=COPY Button
    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        SendKeys.Send("^c")
    End Sub
End Class

If I success with this problem I will success with my application above,because it's similar problem.
Any idea?

Other application must get focus.How to do that?




CTRL+O or CTRL+C or CTRL+S= It does not matter
Some of them must be.
