I making a program that needs to be able to respond to the key press of Ctrl + ' (that's control + apostrophe) even when the program does not have focus.
The Ctrl + ' will be used to start and stop a timer.
The code would be something like (just some psuedo-code for my example):
On Ctrl + ' KeyPress
If TimerStart = False
Timer.Start()
TimerStart = True
Else
Timer.Stop()
TimerStart = False
End If
I have read that using a keyboard hook is the way to go and this is my preferred method, however I struggle to even understand the tutorials I read and am having trouble with the virtual key codes.
I found a decent tutorial here, but my lack of knowledge makes it hard for me to translate that into what I need.
Any help or an example specific to what I need would be very beneficial for me. This is the last thing I need to code to finish my program and I feel a more specific example, to my needs, would help me to break down and understand this better.
