Making form visible with keycombination.

[PhilippeSignoret]

I have a form that I make invisible (form1.visible = false)
how can I make it visible again by using a combination of keys (pressing < Ctrl + h > for example)?

Thanks in advance.

The fastest and easiest way, even though not elegant: The MDI form does not have a keypress event. So, on the MDI form create a menu item and assign it the key combination you want as a ShortCut Key. This will be activated no matter what form is showing - as long as the menu item is enabled and visible.
The next easiest way would be to add a proceedure to every form that calls a public proceedure in the MDI form.
Then, no matter what form is active, the same proceedure will get called.

If no forms are active, then you may want to do the first suggestion or use a timer on the MDI Form and add the GetAsyncKeyState API function.
