I saw some VB6 code that would raise an event in you application whenever
someone pressed eg. f2 in windows, from whatever location (I'm looking for
VB.Net Code for this). http://abstractvb.com/code.asp?A=849
If you added a shortcut-key to be pressed first; for pressing example
Ctrl+F12, you application might not need to be impossible.
After that key-combination has been pressed, then the program could start
registering whatever typed, for example: "MSDN". Whenever it recognised a
shortcut, it replaced the text.
How to replace the text is another problem, that i can't see a solution to
since there place the text has been written could be anything, a CMD-window,
a Textbox, Listbox, Notepad-window and so on (if someone got some VB.Net
code for this, i'd be interested too :) .
Maybe pasting the text "http://www.msdn.com" into the clipboard and then let
the user replace the MSDN manually would be easier?

Just Checked it out. Prolly is of use to me in some
applications, so thank you for that. I also see that it
is made in C++ (Why do i get the feeling only good things
are written in C++?, is it just that C++ is more commenly
accepted, is it more powerfull or what? As far as i can
tell, VB and C++ in .NET are verry much alike, and the
code is just different syntax mostly... and on top of
that, if you tell ppl you program Visual Basic, the
usually just start laughing like you are some lamer... Oh
well, just gotta live with it i think :-/). So, to sum it
all up:
Thanx everyone, i had given up hope on this subject, but
there maybe light at the end of the tunnel ;) -----Original Message-----

Thanx in advance.
Does this application have to run on 9x (98 and ME)? If it does, then
your pretty much stuck doing the actuall hook procedure in
C/C++/Pascal/PowerBasic/etc that support the creation of standard
windows dlls and then calling your dll via P/Invoke. If it only
needs to run on NT based systems (actually NT4 SP3 and up), then you
can do it completely in VB.NET with P/Invoke using the WH_KEYBOARD_LL
hook type.
Either way, global hooks are not an easy task.
