Toggle on/off hotkeys

Hello guys.
I am facing an issue using some piece of code to create a hotkey
This is what I have which works fine (Checkbox is turnes on/off)

Module:

Code:

---

Public Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "USER32" _
    (ByVal vKey As Int32) _
    As Int16

---

Form Code:

Code:

---

Public Class Form1

Dim hotkey As Boolean

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

hotkey=true
End Sub

Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

If hotkey = True Then
CheckBox1.Checked = True
hotkey = False
Else
CheckBox1.Checked = False
hotkey = True
End If

End Sub
End Class

---

Now, instead of a BUTTON, I use the following code to create a keyboard event

Code:

---

Private Sub KeyLogger_Tick() Handles KeyLogger.Tick
Dim hotkey As Boolean

hotkey = GetAsyncKeyState(Keys.NumPad1)
If hotkey = True Then
CheckBox1.Checked = True
hotkey = False
Else
CheckBox1.Checked = False
hotkey = True
End If

End Sub

---

With this code, checkbox is turned on while NumPad1 is holding down. When I let it go, is turned off
How can I make checkbox turned on when NumPad1 is pressed once, and turned it off when NumPad1 is pressed once again?

That's not how you create a hotkey. You use the RegisterHotKey API. That way, you receive a notification if and when the hotkey is pressed. When you receive that notification, you toggle the Checkbox like so:

Code:

---

CheckBox1.Checked = Not CheckBox1.Checked

---

Well, i found some things about RegisterHotkey API, but I still have an issue to toggle off the hotkey...

Code:

---

Public Class Form1

#Region "REGISTER HOTKEYS"


Public Const WM_HOTKEY As Integer = &H312

<DllImport("User32.dll")> _
Public Shared Function RegisterHotKey(ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, _
                        ByVal id As Integer, ByVal fsModifiers As Integer, _
                        ByVal vk As Integer) As Integer
End Function

<DllImport("User32.dll")> _
 Public Shared Function UnregisterHotKey(ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, _
                        ByVal id As Integer) As Integer
End Function
#End Region

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

RegisterHotKey(Me.Handle, 1, 0, Keys.NumPad8) 'REGISTER NUMPAD8

End Sub


Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)

If m.Msg = WM_HOTKEY Then
            Dim id As IntPtr = m.WParam
            Select Case (id.ToString)
                Case "1"
                    RegisterHotKey(Me.Handle, 1, 0, Keys.NumPad8)
                    checkbox1.checked=true
            End Select
        End If
        MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Sub

End Class

So, where do I place this flag "CheckBox1.Checked = Not CheckBox1.Checked" to toggle on/off the checkbox?
