// To Prompt User for Hotkey...
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// 1) Use Dialog Editor to add a Hotkey control to your dialog template.
//
// 2) Use ClassWizard to add a Hotkey control member variable to this
//  dialog template's dialog class.
//
// 3) Use the following to get the hotkey key codes from the Hotkey control:

	WORD m_wVkCode;
	WORD m_wModifier;

	m_ctrlHotKey.GetHotKey(m_wVkCode,m_wModifier);


/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// To Register Hotkey to Activate Application...
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// 1) Send a WM_SETHOTKEY message to the main window:

	AfxGetMainWnd()->SendMessage(WM_SETHOTKEY,(WPARAM)MAKEWORD(m_wVkCode,m_wModifier));


/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// To Register Hotkey to Send a WM_HOTKEY Message to a Specified Window...
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// 1) Use RegisterHotKey(), but first translate the key modifier returned by
// GetHotKey() into a value that RegisterHotKey() can use:

	// must translate hot key control's returned modifier  to RegisterHotKey format
	UINT mod=0;
	if (m_wModifier&HOTKEYF_ALT) mod|=MOD_ALT;
	if (m_wModifier&HOTKEYF_CONTROL) mod|=MOD_CONTROL;
	if (m_wModifier&HOTKEYF_SHIFT) mod|=MOD_SHIFT;
	if (m_wModifier&HOTKEYF_EXT) mod|=MOD_WIN;
	m_wModifier=mod;

	// register hotkey
	::RegisterHotKey(
		AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd,        // window to receive hot-key notification
		1234,							// identifier of hot key
		m_wModifier,					// key-modifier flags
		m_wVkCode						// virtual-key code
	);


// 2) Manually add WM_HOTKEY message to Mainframe or Child frame window

	ON_MESSAGE(WM_HOTKEY,OnHotKey)


LRESULT CMainFrame::OnHotKey(WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
	wParam; //id specified in RegisterHotKey() (in this example: 1234)
	lParam; //virtual key code and modifiers of the hotkey
	return 0L;
}
