Keyboard Hook Help

[shawn_rxd]

Hello world. Have been at this issue for 3 days now.

I am writing an application that does global keyboard hooking using the windows api. have no problem actually using:

'Alt-N = 0
If e.KeyCode = Keys.N And e.Alt Then
     SendKeys.Send(Chr(48))
End If

My problem is, I need to tie this to only the "Left-Alt" key and others with the "Left-Ctrl" key.

Then, after that, the other problem I am going to have is needing to have it where if I'm in notepad and I press left-ctrl+h it only processes my hook, and not the application specific shortcuts.

Any and all help would be appreciated, have been banging my head against the keyboard over this one.
