Hotkeys / Keyboard + MaxScript

Submitted by Matyrix on Thu, 2010-03-11 06:43

Hello,

I need to use hotkeys to control my script. So my question is: How can i create an event/events for hotkeys?
For example: 'When i push the "S" button: MessageBox "You pushed the S button" ...'

Thanks your answer(s) in advance!

MaxScript don't give you

MaxScript don't give you access to all hotkeys. You can use Alt, Shift, Control and Escape, plus mouse buttons (in mouse tools). To use other hotkey you need to create macroScript and assign a hotkey, but you ask for event handler so maybe dotNet will help in this issue...
