HotKeyDialog

A (realy) simple library to use a kind of Messagebox for Windows Forms, which will detect the pressed keys and return it for easy assignatios of HotKeys

Getting Started

Here is a solution with two projects on it. One is the actual .dll library and the other is a WindowsFormsApp for testing purposes. You can find how to use the library in that proyect.

How to use it

(In the solution you will find a project named Example in which there are the two examples here explained) First we will need to define the variable to storage the keypressed

HotKey hotkey = new HotKey();

Then we will show to the user the HotKeyDialog, so he will input the keycombination and we will get those keys returnted.

hotkey = HotKeyMessageBox.Show("Title", "Please press the key combination");

Full code

using HotKeyDialog;
...

 HotKey hotkey = new HotKey();

 if (HotKeyMessageBox.Show("Title", "Please press the key combination", out hotkey) == DialogResult.OK)
     label.Text = "You have pressed the keys: " + hotkey.ToString();
 else
     label.Text = "You have closed the dialog. There is no input";

Installing

1. Download the HotKeyDialog.dll and the open your project in visual studio
2. Go to References -> Add ->Browse
3. Then find the path where you downloaded the .dll and thats it.

Dowloading

You can download the library from here Release v1.0
