Hi,
I need ot set hotkeys to my windows application. I want when Word is thea
active application and when user press "Ctrl+Alt+T " for example to start my
action.
I used RegisterHotKey and UnregisterHotKe y methods and ovverride WndProc
but even when user works with another program different than MS Word and
press the shortcut key my action is done.
Thanks

Hi Ivo,
I need ot set hotkeys to my windows application. I want when Word is thea
active application and when user press "Ctrl+Alt+T " for example to start
my
action.
Ctrl+Alt+T is a shortcut key in Word 2003 at least, I'd assume in other
recent versions as well. When in Word and when pressing the keyboard
shortcut, what happens? Does anything happen in Word?
Secondly, are you checking the return value of RegisterHotKey? Is it true?
And thirdly, what if you create a shortcut to your C# application (for
example on the desktop) and then on the properties of the shortcut specify
Ctrl+Alt+T as the shortcut key, and then in Word press Ctrl+Alt+T, does you
application start?

Yes Ctrl+Alt+T is a shortcut key in Word but after register it with
RegisterHotKey method my function (this bound to shortcut key) is executing
no mater which is the active window. And RegisterHotKey returns true.
Acording to thirdly i can't find how to specify shortcut key to shortcut icon
on the desktop. The point is that I don't want my application to be started
with shortcut but when it is started and when MS Word is active window to
have my sshortcut keys working. My application is Shered add-in and starts
when word starts.

I need to access the Tabpages by hotkeys "alt+P" in case
of "Principals" as one of the Tabpage.
Also i need to underline the word "P" in "Principals" so
that user is informed about the hotkey.If i use "&" in
front of the word "P",it is not underlining the word.It
just stays "&" itself.
I know we can add this hotkeys to toolbars,buttons and
lots of other controls.

Hi! I am new to C#. I read two C# books in the last two days which only

because they did not cover windows applications, only ten to twenty pages how

So now you know why I want to have hotkeys in a CONSOLE Application. Is this

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
