shortcut key

[Lorey]

Hi experts,

how to add a shortcut key to call a specific function in my vc++ program, for example CTRL+E. This shortcut key should be invisible to the user so I cant use the accelarator like & in menu.

Please help!

I'm assuming you're using MFC...if that's the case, this snippet should help

BOOL CMyDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) 
{
	if(pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
	{
		// do keydown processing here
	}
	return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

You'll need to put in code to determine what keys to process or not.

Or you can add an accelerator resource to your resources.
