Do you have Hot Keys?

Defining and handling hot keys is very easy:

• Set your form's "KeyPreview" property to "True."
  
  

  KeyPreview := True;

  
  
• Define your form's "KeyDown" event. For example, following code will catch any CTRL+F1 [hot] key presses:
  
  

  procedure TForm1.FormKeyDown( Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState ); begin if( (ssCtrl in Shift) and (Key = VK_F1) )then begin // do your thing here... MessageBox( Handle, 'F1 pressed!', 'Hot Key', MB_OK ); end; end;
