CHotKeyCtrl lets the user select a hot key - it isn't to find out background info for your app (e.g. hot key used to start it) - it sounds a bit like you may have misunderstood what this class is for ?<br />
<br />
to get the text from a hot key control using the GetWindowText member<br />
<br />
CString strText ;<br />
m_hotKey.GetWindowText( strText ) ;<br />
<br />
CHotKeyCtrl derives off CWnd, so all the CWnd members exist for it too...(such as GetWindowText)<br />

Unfortunately neither GetWindowText nor DetDlgItemText does not work. :(<br />

If GetWindowText doesn't work, then probably you can't get the text from it (HotKey is probably using an internal variable to store the text rather then the window text). But what you can do is get the virtual key code using GetHotKey and interpret it yourself to generate the caption text.<br />
