    Hey Guys!

    I've wanted to make a application that stops when you press "T"+"O"+"M".

    But I don't know how to do it :(

    can anybody help me?

    Kind regards,

    Tom Vos

    One approach would be to launch a thread whose sole purpose is to wait for that sequence of characters to be typed. If "TOM" is keyed in, then it signals the main thread to shut down.

    The implementation will depend on what language and what framework you are using, which you haven't mentioned.

    Hi TomVos,

    This forum is discuss Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.

    I'm afraid that it is not related to visual studio IDE, to redirect you to the correct forum, some clarifications with you:

    (1) What is your project type, windows form, wpf, asp.net or others?

    (2) Which language do you use, C#, vb, C++ or others?

    Best Regards,
