Shortcut for Microsoft Word Document only

Hi all,

I'm using ADX .Net, enjoying it a lot, good work guys.

I have a question: I added a shortcut to Word that I wish to be active when the user is editing a document. The ADX shortcut is working fine, except that it is activated everywhere, even when editing properties of a property page edit box that I added. I only want the short-cut to work when editing a document - what's the best approach to this? (Is there a way to associate a short-cut with the Microsoft Word Document only? Is there a way to check if the user is currently editing the document, rather than some popup/dialog? etc.)

Thank you in advance,
Andrew Szczeszynski

Hi Andrew.

Here is a workaround:


[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern int GetWindowText(int hWnd, IntPtr lpString, int nMaxCount);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern int GetActiveWindow();

private void adxKeyboardShortcut1_Action(object sender)
{
IntPtr lpBuffer = IntPtr.Zero;
try
{
int hwnd = GetActiveWindow();
lpBuffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(1024);
if (GetWindowText(hwnd, lpBuffer, 1024) > 0)
{
string text = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(lpBuffer);
if (text.IndexOf("Microsoft Word") > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("The document is in the 'edit' mode.");
}
}
}
finally
{
if (lpBuffer != IntPtr.Zero)
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(lpBuffer);
}
}
