Systray and keyboard shortcuts?

jnewing

hey all, so currently I have my application that runs minimized to the system tray, however i want users to be able to access a function of the app running in the system tray by hitting a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl + G or something.

First can this be done?

Secondly I tried something like the following in my class but it didn't work. I'm guessing it has something to do the fact that application is not in focus.

@QAction *test_action = new QAction(this);
test_action->setShortcutContext(Qt::WidgetShortcut);
test_action->setShortcut(QKeySequence(Qt::CTRL + Qt::Key_G));
connect(test_action, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(test()));@

fyi: the test function is defined and it just pops a qmessagebox up.

#include "windows.h"

//add on initialization off code *.cpp ;

while(1) 
{
    Sleep(11); // avoid 100% cpu usage

    for(int key=0; key<=255; key++)
    if (GetAsyncKeyState(key) == -32767)
        CheckKey(key);
}

slot for check keypressed without being in the application .
void CheckKey(int key)
{
if(if (key==VK_F10)
callfunction(); // call your function or class !
}
