Using RegisterHotKey to register hot key using Numpad

Question

I have used RegisterHotKey for registering a global hotkey for my application. I need to register Control + Shift + 0 (in numpad) for the application. I have registered it using the below code snippet:

RegisterHotKey(_mainWindowHandle, 1, (uint)ModifierKeys.Control | (uint)ModifierKeys.Shift | 0X4000, (uint)Keys.NumPad0);

However it not responding as expected, other hotkeys are getting registered, only the above combination is not responding.

Sure, when you hold down the Shift key then the numpad keys generate a different code. NumPad0 becomes Insert. The state of the NumLock key matters too, so probably not a great choice for a hotkey. — Hans Passant, Mar 10 '15 at 15:33

Shift + Numpad generated a different code, hence Ctrl+Shft+Numpad was not producing expected result. I found a workaround by changing the shortcut from Ctrl+Shift+Numpad to Ctrl+Numpad.
