You should post them to app central where we all can see them! That would be nice for those of us .NET junkies over here LOL. Because I'm sure that I'm not the only one who is.

Hi Aaron.
Thanks again and I will continue experimenting with it today.
My old Script (App) defined (Registered) a Hot Key that worked and I think accessed a Window Object's Properties and Events.
If these work that will demo:
Use of MSAA;
Use of a Window Object;
Use of a Hot Key.
That should make for a pretty decent intro demo and tutorial to post up someplace.
I will likely continue with a second Demo and Tutorial with a few more features after this one.
So far so good.
Rick USA

You can keep the form from displaying by creating a Main() routine, and putting your startup logic there:

Sub Main()

' Instantiate your form

Dim myForm as Form1 = New Form1()

' Put initialization stuff here instead of in Form_OnLoad

' Continue on without displaying the form

Application.Run()

End Sub
If you then ever need to show the form, you can do myForm.Show()

You can do this in C#, too, by changing code in the Main() function in Program.cs from:

Application.Run(new Form1());

to

Form myForm = new Form1();
Application.Run();
