| Hi,
I'm writing an app at the moment that keeps sticky notes on the screen.
I've written that part and it works nicely. I I'd like to have all the
notes pop up when a hotkey is pressed. I've implemented the hotkey
event fine, but ideally what I'd like to do is this:
1. Hotkey is pressed
2. Background dims and notes pop up over the top
3. Hotkey is released
4. Background brightens and all notes but the selected one are
minimized
I can do the show/hide stuff fine, but I'm a little unsure how to
proceed with checking if the hotkey combo is still held and how to dim
the background efficiently. I done a lot of seaching and can't quite
find anything that fits the bill.
So far I've tried to put a form up over the background and show the
notes over the top; it works ok apart from that i can't stop that form
coming to the front when clicked on. Also I can't seem to make the form
stretch over 2 monitors.
TIA for any help.
Ian
