Keys pressed

[Buzby]

Does anyone know a way my VB program can monitor ALL keypresses the system receives - whatever program has the focus - and is it possible to get the ASCII (or something equivalent) for the key that was pressed.
Don't worry - I'm not writing a virus - it's actually a joke to play on someone.. if I get the program running I'll post it on here for all to enjoy.

Is there an API call or something I can check periodically to get the key pressed etc?

Cheers for any help.

Well, I've never used it, but you could try the GetAsyncKeyState API function to check for certain keys being pressed. For more info:

Hope that helps.
