What do you mean by "it doesnot activates window"?

A hot key control is a window that enables the user to enter a combination of keystrokes to be used as a hot key. A hot key is a key combination that the user can press to perform an action quickly. For example, a user can create a hot key that activates a given window and brings it to the top of the z-order. The hot key control displays the user's choices and ensures that the user selects a valid key combination.

The control just lets you catch a key combination the application is to register, one way or another. It activates nothing. Seems you need to get back to reading the documentation.
