Is there any way to add a hotkey to some actions in a VB..
for example in case of webshots ctrl+alt+w will change the wall paper..
is there any method to do so in VB program..
Note that i have not asked how to add shorcut key-->it's easy.

The example at the following link looks clear, however I have not tried it yet, will do so later.

it's for VB6 i presume....
i will try it but there are huge chances that it will not work in VB2008..coz there is drastic change from VB6 to present VB...
Thanks for the link

It would be helpful if someone finds the way to add hotkey in case of VB2008
