Function Keys to Call a Command of My Program

[philsun]

Hi,

Anyone knows how to use certain keyboard combinations to execute an exe command using Visual C++?

This is very urgent. Help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You can execute an exe in many ways:
- with the WinExec function
- with the CreateProcess function
- with system(exe name) (#include <process.h>)

To capture a specific keyboard combination you have to capture the WM_CHAR and WM_SYSCHAR messages sent to your window, test for your chosen combination thenn call the exe.

Hope this helps,

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include<windows.h>
HHOOK x=0;
LRESULT CALLBACK KeyboardProc(int code,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam information)
{
//do what do you want here
return CallNextHookEx( x,code,wParam,lParam);
//if you return -1 windows will call itsefl next hook proc
//if you return 1 windows will give you full control
//if you return 0 windows will process message after returning from function
//without giving it to next hook
//but is recommnended usuely you to return or call
CallNextHookEx
}

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE,LPSTR,int)
{
x=SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD_LL,KeyboardProc, hInstance,0);
MSG msg;
while(GetMessage(&msg,0,0,0))
DispatchMessage(&msg);//this assure what your program will finish when is called PostQuitMessage()
return 0;
