I have a VB GUI application which has some short cut keys for accessing controls . I want my application to detect these short cut key when my application is inactive ( Window is in minimized form).

Please help me a way in finding it in VB6.0

Thanks inadvance.

The only way I can think of is to register a system wide hotkey - so that no matter what state your app is in when the user presses the key combination the event fires.

Surf to:

and

for some examples.
