RegisterHotKey Ctrl+Alt+F1
-
I want to use the hotkey combination of CTRL+ALT+F1, ...F2, ...F3 but although in my application I register these hotkeys thus: ... ::OnInitDialog() ... RegisterHotKey( GetSafeHwnd(), ID_HELP_CONTENTS, MOD_CONTROL | MOD_ALT, VK_F1 ); ... I deregister the hotkeys in the destructor as well. and I am capturing the message WM_HOTKEY these hotkeys do not work! I have registered other hotkeys just fine, and even if I change the above to capture say CTRL+ALT+B that works fine. Do I need to capture the key combination CTRL+ALT+F1 in a different way?

What does
GetLastErrorsay? Or use@err,hr in the debugger and debug through to find out what happens when you callRegisterHotKey. On my machine on pressingCtrl + Alt + F1it pops up windows help dialog.

Is it possible to hook into an existing hotkey combination, without having to go down to the WinMain?

This[^] should help. Second question is yours. Let me tell you that it's quite annoying to override an existing hotkey, imagine somebody doing the to your hotkey, be polite and choose another one. :)
