    I take it there will be two events, one for each key.

    So for instance if you wish to check for CTRL + G being pushed you will have to do something like this.

    1) Create code that sets a boolean to true if CTRL is pressed down, and set it back to false if the button is released
    2) Create code that sets a boolean to true if G is pressed down, and set it back to false if the button is released
    3) At each event, check if CTRL and G booleans are true and then you will know they both where pressed at the same time.

    I think....

    Yes, the same thing JavaPF.Its working now.Thanks Json & JavaPF.But i have another doubt.Suppose i don't want the default action for keys like,
    CONTROL+V is for paste.But i don't want to do this action.It have to perform some custom events.Is this possible?

    To be honest I have no idea. I don't think you can change what actions are performed for the default key shortcuts in Windows.

    Something such as Ctrl-C is not a Windows default, its just a well recognised practise by windows. Each application has to interpret Ctrl-C in its own way...it doesn't have to do it. But either way you would have to interupt keyboard input at a system level, then do what ever and stop the message being passed on.

    Not possible with standalone Java

    Lol, i've forgotten much of the C++ syntax. The other day, i tried doing this:
    // I know it says Java Code, but I was doing this in C++
    public class Date
    {
         String month;
         int day;
         int year;
        // ... rest of code
    }
