Hot Key Control

  • Article

Hot key controls allow users to enter a combination of keystrokes used as a hot key, which enables them to perform an action quickly. A hot key control displays the keystrokes entered by the user and ensures that the user selects a valid key combination.

The window class name for a hot key control is HOTKEY_CLASS, which is defined as "msctls_hotkey32" in Commctrl.h.
