Hot Key in vb net....

How do i make a hot key in vb net that works even when my app does not have the focus.

Like crtl + 1 diplays a message box and samples would be great!

Thanks

Anyone got any idea... for vb . net

Second item on this page is source for a system wide hotkey written in VB.Net...

i've checked the link, The sample is missing . Just to let you know.

Really - when I checked I found this:-

The sample HotKeyTest IS MISSING !

have you tried to open it ???

Ignore the sample - the MCLHotkey.vbproj file is yer man...

Merrion, can you please explain in a little more detail how your control can be referenced/accessed?

I get errors mostly any way that I try to add a reference or component. I've tried referencing the dll and/or the vbproj, but I don't see an entry in the components for it.

whoops. I forgot to try to add it under the .net components instead of COM.

Apparently the ALT+ key modifier doesn't always work. I shal fix this (and write an installer to put it in the GAC) when I get time.

There is a new and improved version here
