I think you might not be able to do it with hotstrings, but instead with a regular hotkey. Also, I think you'll need to change the comment flag to something else that isn't a semicolon. Here's my attempt:

#CommentFlag //
~;::
KeyWait , Esc , DT2
If !ErrorLevel
{
    Send , {backspace}
    msgbox
}
Return
