Hi Techies,

I have some applications which I want to launch when user presses specific keys from the keyboard, and for this I want to use WndProc method.

I am successful in this in a WinForms application. I want to develop a Windows Service to achieve this.
I get the following errors while trying to use the code in a Windows Service.

1. RegHotKeys.CreateParams : no suitable method found to override
2. RegHotKeys.WndProc(ref Message) : no suitable method found to override
3. ServiceBase does not contain a definition for WndProc
4. ServiceBase does not contain a definition for CreateParams

Following is the code snippet:

protected override void WndProc(ref Message keyPressed)
        {
            Keys keyData = ((Keys)((int)((long)keyPressed.WParam))) | Control.ModifierKeys;

            if (keyPressed.LParam.ToInt32() == hotKey1)
            {
               //ACTION 1
            }
            else if (keyPressed.LParam.ToInt32() == hotKey2)
            {
               //ACTION 2
 
            }
            else if (keyPressed.LParam.ToInt32() == hotKey3)
            {
               //ACTION 3
 
            }
            else if (keyPressed.LParam.ToInt32() == hotKey4)
            { 
               //ACTION 4
            }

            base.WndProc(ref keyPressed);
        }

        protected override CreateParams CreateParams
        {
            get
            {
                var cp = base.CreateParams;
                cp.ExStyle |= 0x80;  // Turn on WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW
                return cp;
            }
        }

So can anybody suggest what could be the possible solution to this please?
