Thanks both, I'll take a look at that. Do all in built hotkeys have a description?, I am needing something to output in a user interface, and description is the only thing I can see that would work. By in built I mean hotkeys in the Hotkeys collection? Cjheers Sean.
From: Aaron Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 08 February 2012 14:32 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Hotkeys and activeWindow queries The GWToolkit's HotkeyManager object attempts to track down key duplicates, so you could examine that source for inspiration. Aaron On 2/8/2012 9:27 AM, Doug Geoffray wrote: You'll just have to loop through all the lists. By the way, it is Hotkeys.GetDuplicates, not Hotkey.GetDuplicates. So you could use this method to compare against all the hotkeys. But there isn't a single magic method that takes these three objects and returns conflicts. But you can certainly do this yourself. It is just grunt work. Doug On 2/8/2012 9:17 AM, Sean Farrow wrote: What is the best way of picking up duplicates? Will Hotkey.GetDuplicates work to pick up cursor keys/registered keys or have I got to do this myself? Essentially what I'm looking for is a list of all hotkey/CursorKey/RegisteredHotkeyts with out any duplicates. Cheers Sean.

It is exactly what the application is using. I'm not following you last comment. Doug On 2/7/2012 5:00 PM, Sean Farrow wrote: Hi Aaron: Is there a way of getting the union of all global and all app specific hotkeys? I've already got cursor/hotkeys defined by RegisterHotkey. I'm assuming that neither of them are included in the hotkeys collection-please, correct me if I'm wrong as this will make for quite a bit of coding later. Cheers Sean.

Effective means the hotkeys that are defined at the time that you get them, which could differ from program to program. And, yes, ActiveWindow is the last window that got activation, which is typically the foreground window.

Also can I assume that the Application.ActiveWindow is returning the foreground window?
