RegisterHotKey

[farseer]

Can more than one process register/unregister a key if each process is
using a different MessageWindow?

Since the docs don't really say, I think you're going to have to experiment.
Either it will work the way you want, or the last process that registers a
hotkey will win.

ok, i'll try that...but i just thought of something...if i used a GUID
for the id parameter of registerHoteKey, that should prevent other
processes from unregistering that key with my process' MessageWindow,
no?

I haven't tried that so I really don't know. If it works, let me know
though!

Alas, it does not seem to work.
i think what might be happening is the other process is using
UnregisterFunc1 rather UnregisterHoteKey.

Thanks for the follow up.
