Don't think you can because your system Tray &quot;icon&quot; won't have focus when the F1 key is pressed. &nbsp;Either the Windows desktop has focus (the Windows default Help file will open) or the active window's application's help file will display.<br />
<br />
The only way around this is to display your application and make sure it's active OR add a menu item to your system tray's popup-menu.<br />
<br />
Any questions, let me know.<br />

Don't think you can because your system Tray "icon" won't have focus when the F1 key is pressed.  Either the Windows desktop has focus (the Windows default Help file will open) or the active window's application's help file will display.

The only way around this is to display your application and make sure it's active OR add a menu item to your system tray's popup-menu.

Any questions, let me know.

Thank you for the response. &nbsp;I would like to override the F1 key even if the systray app doesn't have focus. &nbsp;This could be way to deep into windows OS system to override this function when another app has focus, but it is something I would like to do. In other words, if Netscape is open, and the icon app is in the system tray, pressing F1 would be intercepted by the app in the systray and perform it's function. &nbsp;Does this make any sense? :-)<br />

I currently have an application that resides only in the system tray. Although I can access stuff with right-left-clicks, I would also like it to react when I press F1. &nbsp;Does anyone know how to do this?<br />
