Working with windows10 shortcuts

Published on by Yousfi Benameur 


Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more keys that perform a task that would typically require a mouse or other pointing device. Keyboard shortcuts can save you time and effort as you use Windows and other apps.
Windows10 introduces new applications and then new shortcuts(as public or hotkeys).
using the native vfp shortcuts work in majority only on the vfp environment and cannot work on desktop apps.
the rescue is the keybd_event API whose can simulate all the keyboard keys and send them to desktop.
the virtual keyboard keys can be acquired from the msdn link below.
i simulate 18 shortcuts (with the new ones) and expose the method to do that.can extend to any other shortcut.
i used a top level form with alwaysOntop=.t.  and a contextuel menu  packed in the form methods(ym1 to ym17)
instead an mpr classic menu.

NB:Sendkeys script method can also used but with no great performances.
This code of course can embed in a systray class and stays in traybar with the same menu under the hand.

Alt + Tab – This isn’t a new keyboard shortcut, and it works just like you’d expect it to. Pressing Alt+Tab lets you switch between your open Windows. Tap Tab again to flip between windows and release the keys to select a window. Alt+Tab now uses the new Task View-style larger thumbnails. Unlike Windows Key + Tab, Alt + Tab lets you switch between open windows on all virtual desktops.
