SHIFT+F3

[johnalek]

Hi How we code for combination of keys like SHIFT+F3

Depends on the program. Are you using a window? If so, then when you get key up/down (which ever is more appropriate) event for F3, use the following code to test if the shift key is up or down:

if (GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) < 0) /*do stuff*/;

Notes: VK_SHIFT is equal to 16. The test is to see if the high order bit is set. There are other ways of doing this, but you need to give more information so that we can determine what would work best.

If it were to be done system-wide, you'll need to install a keyboard hook. But you *do* have to provide more details. Please read the how to get an answer to your question sticky on top of the first page of this forum.

For a system wide hot key he can also use RegisterHotKey[^].

Thanks, but I'm not the one who needs to know it. It may have helped if you had replied to the OP.
