Unable to add shortcut key for add in created in c#.net 2.0

[Virender Balouria]

Hi,
I've created an add in in c#.net 2.0 for word 2003. It works fine on button
click but I'm not able to add shortcut for my add in. Please help me for
creating shortcut key for add in.
Thanks in advance

Hi Virender,

I've created an add in in c#.net 2.0 for word 2003. It works fine on button
click but I'm not able to add shortcut for my add in.

Unfortunately, there's no way to directly link a keyboard shortcut in Word to
code stored outside a native Word VBA project. (IOW you can't do it for a
classic VB add-in, either.)

The only possibilities are

1. Link VBA procedures to the keyboard shortcuts and have them call back into
your add-in

2. Hook into the keyboard messages through the Windows API
