Numpad Enter Key As Global Hotkey about jintellitype HOT 9 CLOSED

I need help ASAP since a long time i am trying, but not able to find the 
workaround.

Thanks

I don't believe this is possible as both are treated like the same virtual key 
code there is no way to distinguish NUMPAD_ENTER from the regular ENTER key.

Using ENTER as a hotkey was not really what Microsoft had intended the Hotkey 
API for.  It was meant for obscure combinations like CTRL+SHIFT+G etc.

Thanks for you reply,

Can you please suggest any solution for this issue apart from JIntellitype.

I don't think there is one other than maybe writing your own custom MFC code 
against the WinAPI but even then I still don't think you can tell the two enter 
keys apart.

So what I am saying is I don't think you can accomplish what you are trying to 
accomplish.

Hi Mellowaredev,

There is function public void registerHotKey(int identifier,int modifier,int 
keycode)
With the following Parameters:
identifier - a unique identifier for this key combination
modifier - MOD_SHIFT, MOD_ALT, MOD_CONTROL, MOD_WIN from JIntellitypeConstants, 
or 0 if no modifier needed
keycode - the key to respond to in Ascii integer, 65 for A

If you write another function where you just replace the keyCode with key's 
unicode then I think user will be able to differentiate between Main Enter key 
and Numpad Enter key

I don't think you are listening to me.  What I am telling you it is not 
possible to do what you want to do.

That is not how the WINAPI works.  That is just the java side it then must get 
translated into the Windows API call for RegisterHotkey which does not accept 
Unicode it expects a Virtual Key Code.

Here is the list of virtual key codes and there is only one VK_RETURN which is 
the same for the NUMPAD Enter and regular ENTER.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
