System wide Keyboard short cut?

[Jes|er]

Anyone know how? Ctrl - Alt - type thing.

what do you mean ??

What I mean is, my app is hidden. So when a user press's for example ctrl + alt + whatever, then it would show itself.

I do have an example in VB6 that I am trying to conver but with no luck:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    
    Subclass Me
    
    RegisterHotKey Me.hWnd, 1&, MOD_WIN, Asc("G")   ' Upper Case
    RegisterHotKey Me.hWnd, 2&, MOD_WIN, Asc("g")   ' Lower Case
    
    'Note: the 1& and the 2& must increment for each registered hot-key
    
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
    
    Unsubclass
    
End Sub
 
Public Sub HotKey(dwKey As Long, dwShift As Long)   ' Called from WndProc
        
    If (dwKey = Asc("G") Or dwKey = Asc("g")) And (dwShift = MOD_WIN) Then
        Visible = Not Visible
    End If
    
End Sub

Thank you! Works like a charm. I almost gave up on this idea.

Well , it's VB6 Code that I used to use ... but I'm looking for .NET way .I bet there are many ways around but seems out of reach ... maybe through DX . Yes I guess
