How to register a custom keyboard shortcut for a windows application

Question

I want to create a windows utility application, which can be called anytime from within any other application using a keyboard shortcut, e.g.:

• Win + T<

Answer 1

An option for doing that programatically when your application start is calling this Windows API:

RegisterHotKey(IntPtr hwnd, int id, int fsModifiers, int vk);

And to unregister call this API:

UnregisterHotKey(IntPtr hwnd, int id);

Both exist in user32 APIs
