I'm trying to build a single key shortcut for Outlook following the code from here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsod/archive/2010/04/08/using-shortcut-keys-to-call-a-function-in-an-office-add-in.aspx

It works fine for outlook 2010 but for outlook 2013 is not working The hook is there, if you press the key on other windows my code gets invoked but only when the Outlook 2013 window has the focus is not working

Same issue like here: C# Outlook 2013 Add-In Keyboard Events or similar with this one C# Global keyboard hook in Office Addin 2013

Thanks, Marius

Are you trying to override existing keyboard shortcuts? – Eugene Astafiev Sep 23 '15 at 21:58
no, no overrides to existing shortcuts – MariusP Sep 23 '15 at 23:41

Thanks Kiru, Looks good but in my case is a single key press do something , not a combination of keys – MariusP Sep 24 '15 at 12:49
