orrrrr....

Code:

Public Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vkey As Integer) As Short

Code:

Public Function GetKeyState(ByVal key As Integer) As Boolean
        Dim s As Short
        s = GetAsyncKeyState(key)
        If s = 0 Then Return False
        Return True
    End Function

Code:

If GetKeyState(Keys.*) = True Then
'put this if statement in a thread to run through to keep a check on it.
End If

This way it checks through out the whole time while running the program for a hotkey.

Perhaps, but you have to call it multiple times to make sure that it hits the time a user presses a key because it's not based on events. He wanted a hotkey for specifically a textbox as I read it. If you wanted a global system-wide hotkey, you could do it this way, but it is a very poor way, and it uses a lot of resources because it has to be called constantly.

There's much better ways, even avoiding this, and a keyboard hook, but a keyboard hook is the ultimate way in my opinion, because you don't have to register and unregister a specific hotkey that may already be taken by something else.
