system wide replace keystroke with other keystrokes

[ignore.server.problems@gmail.com]

Does anyone know a trick to replace a keystroke (say "F12") with a
series of keystrokes (say "some lengthy text followed by F12") using
Visual Studio 2005?

Jeroen,

Well, you would use VS.NET 2005 to develop a solution that you could
use, you wouldn't use VS.NET 2005 directly to address this problem =)

Unfortunately, what you need is a Global Keyboard Hook, which is
something you can't do in .NET.

nope still can use vs c/cpp, didnt check witch OS over 2000 but used
in like http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/syst...hp/c5699/#more
but from the name of the link its cpp, looks like plain K&R c code to
me, with a win touch ;)

now the interesting part is could one use .net to do something like
this?

never thought about that, OT had some problemd with java->fortran, had
to go jni to communicate (on OpenVMS, will NOT recommend using it if u
dont have to... directorys are not win/*nix style a\b\c or a/b/c but
a.b.c so getting canonical names wont work...)
