Hi,
i am developing a server-client (client may be multiple ) application, in which server app should have functionality to switch controls over client for i need to define some hotkey like 'Ctrl + 1' for first client, 'Ctrl + 2' for second client and so on. For this i have to register a new hotkey every time when a new client is connected to the server.

My question : Is it possible to register 'Ctrl + 11' as a global hotkey? If yes then how?

If you have a keyboard with an [11] key you probably can, my keyboard only runs from 0 to 9

"functionality to switch controls over client" - I do not understand that. Please try to explain.

Actually i am developing an application to control the clients(like remote desktop but more then one client may able connect with server ) but server can control one client at a time so that i need to switch from one client desktop to next connected client's desktop.
