RegisterHotKey( works, but how to register a multimedia key?

[arthurprs]

i already tried something like,

RegisterHotKey(appwinHANDLE, 3004, 0, $B3);

$B3 is the code for multimedia key "PLAY"

how can i register a hotkey for the keys (Stop, Play, Vol up, Vol down...) ?


os: windows
compile : delphi

You can't.. since explorer registers them before you do.

are you sure it registers hotkeys rather than use system messages?

wm_keydown in your own app, if you want it global, you could use stuff like GetKeyboardState..

most of time the app is hided, so i probably can't use _keydown

i need a timer or something like that to use GetKeyboardState?

I think a better way would be to use SetWindowsHookEx
