Subscribe to os events

[Jesper.]

Hi,

Is it possible to subscribe to os events. I would like to
invoke my program (.e.g. maximize it from the task pane)
when a certain key combination is pressed. Much like the
explorer can be started by the windows key + E.

Is this possible.

best regards Jesper.

You would need to setup a windows hook using SetWindowsHookEx (API).
This KB article covers the basics:

Hi,

u can use WIN32 Hooks to accomplish this functionality.

The following article discusses using hooks in a .NET application which
might be useful to u.
