Keyboard shortcut events in Outlook 2003, del, ctrl-n...

[g62msdnatll]

PLATFORM/DEVENV: VS .NET C# Outlook 2003, Windows XP

PROBLEM: Is there a way to catch events that are caused by keyboard
shortcuts in Outlook 2003? I'd like to catch the "Item_Removed" event when a
user hits "Delete" or "Ctrl-D" and the New_Inspector event when the user hits
"Ctrl-N" among other things.

If not, how do you hook into keyboard events in general in VS .NET C#?

Please provide links to sample code or keywords I can use to search for more
information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi

I have replied to your another two posts about New_Inspector and
Item_Removed.
If you still need the hook the keyboard, you may take a look at the link
