hi,
i was wondering if there is some way of getting input from the keyboard (not using a inputbox) when the user has a different program selected, such as ms word, so that my program can register what is being typed while it is only running in the background. Any code examples would be much appreciated.
Take this : http://www.patorjk.com/vb32examples.htm
It's Key logger example you can find it in "Miscellaneous Examples" Section . There are more on the same page .
Here you'll find many examples...
Theres TONS of Keyloggers... seeing as how thats what your probably looking for

I've seen lots of examples written in pure VB along with APIs . So , definitely possible .Quote:

API's are written in c or c++ usually, so if oyu technically wanted to write all the source yourself then you'd have to write your own API's in c or c++.

So it's not completely in VB.
It's . APIs are already built and ready for use . We are talking about writing such app in VB (vb code ) . Do you have to write any block of code in C\C++ to write such proj ? I believe no . That's the point .;)Quote:
