digitalmars.D.learn - TKd handling of custom events

Hello,

I am using TKd to dray my linux/windows app which works very good!

I would like to add a global Hotkey to my program via the Win32 
API function RegisterGlobalHotkey.
Is there a possibility to access Tk's event loop so that you can 
Handle the WM_HOTKEY message, the WinAPI sends you?

Regards,

Nevermind.
If someone has the same issue: Just create another Win32 API 
Window, that is hidden and let that one receive your hotkey 
message!

I don't think this is possible in Tcl/Tk without installing an 
extension as discussed here:
http://computer-programming-forum.com/57-tcl/c9af2b9def3914c2.htm

Tkd doesn't rely on any extensions and is just using vanilla 
Tcl/Tk.
