[RESOLVED] Overrides WndProc From within Class

Currently im trying to write a HotKey class, however in order to intercept the messages you need to overwrite the WndProc and check for WM_HOTKEY.

Currently, im using Inherits Form inside of the class, so that it has the option of overwriding the wndproc, but along with that I get all the forms normal events when trying to handle it.

Below is my code:

Code:

---

Public Class Form1

    Private Class HotKey
        Inherits Form
        Private Declare Function RegisterHotKey Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal id As Integer, ByVal fsModifiers As Integer, ByVal vk As Integer) As Integer
        Private Declare Function UnregisterHotKey Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal id As Integer) As Integer
        Private Declare Function GlobalAddAtom Lib "kernel32" Alias "GlobalAddAtomA" (ByVal lpString As String) As Short
        Private Declare Function GlobalDeleteAtom Lib "kernel32" (ByVal nAtom As Short) As Short

        Private Const WM_HOTKEY As Integer = &H312
        Public hkID As Integer = 0

        Public Shared Event HotKey_Pressed()

        Public Enum ModKeys
            MOD_ALT = 1
            MOD_CONTROL = 2
            MOD_SHIFT = 4
            MOD_WIN = 8
            MOD_NONE = 0
        End Enum

        Public Sub New(ByVal ModKey As ModKeys, ByVal Key As Keys)
            Dim atomName As String = Process.GetCurrentProcess.Id.ToString("X8") & Me.Name
            hkID = GlobalAddAtom(atomName)
            If RegisterHotKey(Me.Handle, hkID, ModKey, CInt(Key)) = 0 Then
                hkID = 0
                MsgBox("Unable to register hotkey. Error code: " & System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetLastWin32Error.ToString)
                Me.Finalize()
            End If
        End Sub

        Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
            MyBase.WndProc(m)
            If m.Msg = WM_HOTKEY Then
                If m.WParam.ToString = hkID Then
                    RaiseEvent HotKey_Pressed()
                End If
            End If
        End Sub

        Protected Overrides Sub Finalize()
            Try
                GlobalDeleteAtom(hkID)
                UnregisterHotKey(Me.Handle, hkID)
            Catch ex As Exception
            End Try
            MyBase.Finalize()
        End Sub
    End Class

    Private WithEvents hk1 As New HotKey(HotKey.ModKeys.MOD_WIN, Keys.BrowserHome)

    Private Sub hk1_HotKey_Pressed() Handles hk1.HotKey_Pressed
        MsgBox("test")
    End Sub
End Class

That works perfectly fine, its just that I dont want hk1 to be able to handle other things other than the HotKey_Pressed event...

You should inherit the NativeWindow class as it exists specifically for this purpose.

Perfect, thank you.
Have to remember this one -_-
