Hey, thanks. sounds like maybe you don't need to hook into the windows api? Maybe just using the form event is enough for your requirements. Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown Dim key = e.KeyCode If key = Keys.K Then 'flag that it was press and use that elsewhere in the code as an indication. End If End Sub

@@mrhem5371 Thank you so much for your reply, This will help me a lot I will test this code and update you :)

@@mrhem5371 Its working Thank you

We can use the modifier parameter to couple the key with an ALT, CRLT or WIN. In the documentation, it says the WINDOWS keys are reserved for use by the operating system, so I'd avoid using that with RegisterHotKey(). If you still want to use the WIN key or do more interesting stuff I recommend looking into www.autohotkey.com/ AUTOHOTKEY. Here would be the modifications required to couple with an ALT key. 'change the id to integer instead of keys Public Declare Auto Function RegisterHotKey Lib "User32.dll" (ByVal x As IntPtr, ByVal id As Integer, modifier As UInteger, keycode As Keys) As Long Public Const WM_HOTKEY = &H312 Public Const MOD_ALT = &H1 'add the MOD_ALT hex Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message) MyBase.WndProc(m) If (m.Msg = WM_HOTKEY) Then Dim id = m.WParam.ToInt32 If (id = 1) Then 'check for the id number MsgBox("ALT A") End If End If End Sub Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load RegisterHotKey(Me.Handle, 1, MOD_ALT, Keys.A) 'id 1 is registered with ALT A End Sub

@@mrhem5371 Loved the video great tuition and very helpful. I am using VS 2019 on windows 10. I had to update a line of your code to make it work on my system... from RegisterHotKey(Me.Handle, 1, MOD_ALT, Keys.A) 'id 1 is registered with ALT A to RegisterHotKey(Me.Handle, 1, CUInt(MOD_ALT), Keys.A) 'id 1 is registered with ALT A It works perfectly now. Thanks

Ah right, so this video encryptions the whole buffer in one go and relies on data to fit the buffer (eg. small messages or files). For data larger than the buffer, we'll need to iterate over it and encrypt it block by block setting a block size.

Glad it helped!

Hey thanks!

I don't think it is out of date. Are you getting any errors?
