Hi Vic,
In this case, you should modify the line that registers the actual hot
keys in the array. Do a search for Keyboard.RegisterHotKey, and you
should come across a line that looks like this:
Set registeredHotkeys(iniKeyID) =
Keyboard.RegisterHotkey(SO_HotkeyManager.Key(iniKeyID),
SO_HotkeyManager.Data(iniKeyID))
So, to register it for the active program, add
ClientInformation.Applicationprocess like so:
Set registeredHotkeys(iniKeyID) =
Keyboard.RegisterHotkey(SO_HotkeyManager.Key(iniKeyID),
SO_HotkeyManager.Data(iniKeyID), ClientInformation.ApplicationProcess)
Clear as mud?

Steve,
I know how to do it that way, but the WEScript Framework uses the Hot Key
Manager from the toolkit to register the hot keys. I tried adding that
parameter to the lines where the hot keys were added and it would not take
it. At least I saw where the hot keys were all added. Is this what registers
them to? Do I have to change the script and register my hot keys with the
Keyboard.RegisterHotkey method? If I do that, how do I get them to show up
in the Hot Key Manager object so they can be changed? I am a little
confused!

Vic,
To associate a hot key with an application, simply add a third parameter
to your RegisterHotKey routine. For example, the following snip
registers F9 to do something for whatever my active program happens to be:
Dim myKey : Set myKey = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("F9", "DoSomething",
ClientInformation.ApplicationProcess)
Sub DoSomething
Speak "Howdy there."
End Sub

Chip,
Have you covered the advanced hot key topics. I know you mentioned it in
an
early class, class 10 I think, but I can't find any reference to it later.
I
haven't been able to listen to all your classes, though.
The problem I am having is that it seems the WEScript Framework makes all
the hot keys global. I want to limit them to a specific application that
the
app is associated with. What is the easiest way to do this.
Thanks for any help on this and your classes are great.
Vic
