correct, Chip. Puzzles me, there is no such checking. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chip Orange To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 11:56 PM Subject: RE: Finding Hot Key App
Aaron, I don't think it does the checking when an app registers the hotkey though; only when the user enters one interactively through the hotkey manager right? so, if the app you're having a conflict with wasn't running at that moment, you'd never know there was a conflict, as WE (and the toolkit object) would allow both apps to run, and both of them to register the same global hotkey at some time in the future? I think David is suggesting why not put in a feature which alerts the user at run-time, when a second app tries to register a global hotkey which conflicts with another already registered?

Or, would the app developer need to put in a hundred lines of coding to handle such testing, in his apps? Smile. The GW Toolkit's HotkeyManager object will check for existing hotkeys. Otherwise, it would be up to the developer to do the checking themselves.
