    Question

    Hi everybody,

    I'm trying to detect if the user used Ctrl+c to interrupt lengtly operations like copying and unzipping files. I tried to use the examples from the microsoft knowlegde base. But it simply doesn't work.

    I have to detect the keycombination, even if the focus is of the program.

    Anyone got any ideas??

    Thanks

    Did you try GetKeyState() API? This will tell if those keys are pressed down. I have no resources at the moment perhaps someone here could offer you an example with the key names.

    Megatron posted an example of using GetKeyStateAsync() somewhere...but check out VK_CONTROL or similar.
