如何为你的应用程序设置热键？

启动工程后，在你的工程中添加一个标准模块，然后将下面的代码粘贴到模块的声明段中。

Option Explicit

Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" _
Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, _
lParam As Long) As Long

Declare Function DefWindowProc Lib "user32" _
Alias "DefWindowProcA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, _
ByVal lParam As Long) As Long

Public Const WM_SETHOTKEY = &H32
Public Const WM_SHOWWINDOW = &H18
Public Const HK_SHIFTA = &H141 'Shift + A
Public Const HK_SHIFTB = &H142 'Shift * B
Public Const HK_CONTROLA = &H241 'Control + A
Public Const HK_ALTZ = &H45A 
请注意组合键的值必须以低／高位字节的格式进行声明。也就是说是一个十六进制的数字。

后两位是低端字节，如41=a；前两位是高端字节，如01=1=shift。

在窗体的Load事件中加入下面的代码：

Private Sub Form_Load()


Dim erg As Long
Me.WindowState = vbMinimized
'让windows知道你想要的热键。
erg& = SendMessage(Me.hwnd, WM_SETHOTKEY,HK_ALTZ, 0)
'检查函数是否执行成功
If erg& <> 1 Then
MsgBox "You need another hotkey", vbOKOnly,"Error"
End If
'告诉windows热键按下后做什么－－显示窗口
erg& = DefWindowProc(Me.hwnd, WM_SHOWWINDOW,0, 0)

End Sub
按F5运行程序后，再按下ALT+Z就会看到结果了。
