在Dos的年代，我们常会以拦截中断向量的方式，做到按下某个hotkey而自动执行某个程式，在Window呢，也可以，不过它是用RegisterHotkey API来完成。
使用RegisterHotkey的概念是，它会定义一组按键的组合，当使用者不管在哪个程式之中，按下Window有注册的HotKey时，OS会传送WM_HOTKEY 的讯息给待接收该讯息的Window，而该Window收到WM_HOTKEY时，便可知道有本身Thread所定义的HotKey被按下，於是可以从wParam, lParam来得知是哪一组HotKey被按下。
RegisterHotKey(
ByVal hwnd As Long , //接收Hotkey的Window
ByVal idHotKey as Long, // identifier of hot key,range 0x0000 through 0xBFFF
ByVal Modifiers As Long, // 定义alt shift control等的组合
ByVal uVirtKey As Long // virtual-key code
)
WM_HOTKEY 叁数的定义
idHotKey = wParam; // identifier of hot key
Modifiers = (UINT) LOWord(lParam); // key-modifier flags
uVirtKey = (UINT) HIWORD(lParam); // virtual-key code
所以了，除了设定RegisterHotkey外，另要使用SubClassing的技巧才会得知HotKey被按下；最後，程式结束前要使用UnRegisterHotkey将HotKey的定义取消掉。
以下程式功能是：不管在哪个程式中，只要按下ALT-SHIFT-G 便执行NotePad。
