O.P. Need some help with HotKey
Hey guys,

I'm working on a translation plugin, screen below:

[Image: UltimateTranslatorOptions.png]

As you see it will be possible to set a HotKey to translate a message you have typed. But I am have a problem with retrieving the HotKey that is entered into the HotKeyControl. What function is used for retrieving the entered HotKey?

CheckboxControl - Button_IsChecked()
ListBoxControl - LstBox_GetCurSel()
HotKeyControl - ???()

Thanks in advance!

Ok that's what I'll need later, but the problem at the moment is different. When you click on Save you're setting will be saved in the registry, but before I can save this into the registry I need to retrieve the information entered into the HotKey control. That my problem for now, I can't find anything about retrieving the HotKey that is entered...

RE: Need some help with HotKey
take a look at the hotkeys.js file within the Now Playing script by dt. He has a similar feature to record a key combination. Attaching the file for convenience.
EDIT: yes, I realized what you mean now after I posted, thats why I deleted my previous post

To actually get the value of the HotkeyControl you need to use the HK_GETKEY message.

Here is the code:
code:
Debug.Trace(Interop.Call('user32','SendMessageW', pPlusWnd.GetControlHandle('NameOfTheHotkeyControl'), (0x0400 /* WM_USER */ +2) /* HK_GETKEY */, 0, 0));

Yes I was looking into the Music Now Playing code already, and it's exactly where I'm lookoing for. But I thnk I won't implent it in the first version, I'll use a pre-set shorcut for it (like the google translator script uses F5) instead of choosing your own shortcut.

Maybe I'll add it later, I'll first finish this script as it is now. Do you guys like the options page as it is now?
