Hi,

I am trying to register windows hotkey using the following code

RegisterHotKey(Handle, 1, MOD_ALT, VK_F1);

in order to make my application run perform some actions when the user press
ALT+F1.

Now as long as the program main window is visible everything is perfect, but
once I minimize my program to the system tray, the program sometime don't
respond when I press ALT+F1, in other words I can press ALT+F1 for 2 -3
times before my program start responding. once I restore my program from the
system tray everything return normal again !!

can someone tell me please what exactly I am doing wrong here, and why this
is happening.

Thank you in advance...
