Need help with 'KEYPRESS' (kinda)

Ok, I need a sub, or a function call from a DLL, or an OCX or anything, that would allow me to get any key pressed during a Windows session. I need to know which keys are pressed even when my VB application is only running in the background, and is not the one in focus. I've heard in other places that you need something called a 'HOOK' or something, (maybe some clarity there...) anyways, I need the coding in order to get ALL the keys pressed while Windows is running.

Thanx in advance...

Dude, you don't like my GetASyncKeyState suggestion?

Whell, where could i find this Crypto?

Find what, the idea? look to your original thread in General Q & A

:)

Ok...

Crypt, from past experiences we both know (at least I do), that this late, I'm a complete idiot...

I'm not very good with API coding, so could you give me some suggestions, as to how I could analyze this code, and change it to fit what I need?

What I need to do, is write to a variable EVERY key pressed, the same variable would then be sent through a Winsock control to a different address... Think of it as a remote keyboard monitor.

Please give me a head start with this, and how I could do it...
