Description:
------------

This component sets a Keyboard Hook and catch any key events,
even those that can't be caught by Form's KeyPreview.

No need for Form's KeyPreview to be true to use this.

Properties:

 Enabled: Boolean;
 AppGlobal: Boolean;  if set to True, will capture key even when the form
                      that owns the component is not activesdf.

Events:
 OnKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; ShiftState: TShiftState);
 OnKeyUp(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; ShiftState: TShiftState);

You can drop multiple THotKeyManager anywhere, although only one is neccessary,
but you might want to do it to associate the event with different forms.


History:
  v0.1  5 April  First Release
  v0.2  12 April
        - Fixed bug that caused OnKeyUp doesn't get called
        - Changed the event to be the same type as TForm.OnKeyDown event type
          (sorry you just have to re-make the event)
        - Now allows you to assign Key := 0 in the event to catch key event
          and not passing it to the rest of hook chain, thus effectively
          disabling the key
        Note: thanks to Nick for his bug report and suggestion for this release.

Future:
-------

- Support Database Navigation keys
- Enter key to move between input fields like DOS app
