[RESOLVED] Detect a Hot Key without looping

[TupacShakur]

Once again i find myself seaking the help of the experienced guys in here

However, this will pose a challenge for u guys. I have searched and read more code than the average human brain can handle in a 3 hours span, but found no solution to my need:

What i need to do is to create a system wide hot key for my app that can be detected when my app is inactive. But the crucial part is that i need to detect that key when it's pressed without using the classical DoEvents based loop (which by the way is the most inadequate commonly used programming practice in VB) !!

I came to the conclusion that this canot be done using GetAsyncKeyState (cause this would require looping), but probably could be done using sub classing, which i have no idea about. I am not sure also if sub classing should be used with the RegisterHotKey API or not, and if there is some other way to use the HotKey API to set some kind of event that will be triggered when the hot key is pressed (an event that will be detected by the system, just like how events are set in Java or C++, and not through a loop from within my code)???

He who helps me will be generously awarded!!!!
