[2005] how to capture key stokes?

hi. how to get any key pressed by the keyboard wether the form is active or inactive.
thx

is there any API func to do that?

For what purpose?

:confused: I love this forum
don't worry that is not for spying on people, thats for parent control program :D
Good Ques :thumb:
:wave:

Oh well, as long as you promise it's not for spying..

Seriously, that question has been asked a million ways and it has been denied information a million ways as well. Even if you are perfectly innocent in your intentions, once the code is posted, the information is also available to the thousands of people who want it for reasons that aren't innocent.

So for safety reasons, I can pretty much guarantee your question won't be answered.

Ok I'm inclined to believe you're not writing a keylogger from the look of your previous posts. Sorry but I really don't want to encourage that behaviour/those questions on these forums personally. ;) :cool:

Here you go, this post should help you out: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...=key+press+api

Any way, thx, I appreciate your reason ;)
by the way what is the nationality of this forum ? UK or US?

The earliest I remember the forums were when it was owned by a guy in the UK called Karl Moore, but that was after the original owner and the guy who built vbulletin so I'm not sure of that one.

You'll find both are used here - the UK and the US are where most of the more active members at the moment are from and the languages themselves usually have the US spelling but take your pick
