hello all,
I am working on a project related to Internet Explorer. I want my
application to be invoked by a keypress( single key stroke or a
combination). But this must get invoked only when the IE browser is
open. I learnt that SetWindowsHookEx must be used along with few
others. But my doubt is how to call my application? Can i implement the
keyboard hooks related methods in the same project as my application or
should this be else where(i.e as a new project)? wats the difference
between the keyboard hooks and hot keys... i have been serching abt
this for a long time that right now i am confused.
I am new to .NET and all these window hooks. Please help me.
thanks,
hema

Your app has a dependency upon Internet Explorer. This means that you should
probably build your app so that it launches Internet Explorer when it
starts, rather then depending upon the user to launch Internet Explorer.
Otherwise, this is not something that you can fix by modifying your app, as
your app hasn't started yet before Internet Explorer is required to be
launched.

Yeah, I misunderstood the question. I thought he meant that his app must
start up IE in order to work. It sounds more like he wants to add a keyboard
shortcut to IE to start his app.
