    I want to be able to have my program run in the background and the user can press function keys my program will react to.

    I am able to do it if my program is the active one but not when the user has clicked onto another program.


    Thanks for you help in advance...

    use the API getasynckeystate...

    add a timer , set interval to 1 millisecs
    then execute getasynckeystate ( keycode ) to test whether that specific key is pressed

    ( the API entry is in the api viewer... )
