RegisterHotKeys, Global Keyboard Hooks (C#)

Question

Hi! I was looking around and google this two subjects for hours...couldn't find an explanation about those function\classes, just how it works and what is it actually, i can't just copy paste to my program without understand exactly how it works. I want to make a key to get focused on my app Form(when it minimized) and then focus on a Textbox, so from what i've read i need to use RegisterHotKeys function(that a better solution for my needs), but i didn't found how or where i can choose my own key(only one key - ESC) and then command it to focus on my form and then on the textbox.

Thanks A Lot In Advance!! Amit.

Sample on how to use hot keys.

class myform : Form
{
    public myform()
    {
        RegisterHotKey(Handle, id, modifiers, mykey);
    }
    protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
    {
        if (m.Msg == 0x312) // this is WM_HOTKEY
        {
            Show();
        }
        base.WndProc(ref m);
    }
}
