    Question Keyboard spy?

    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.

    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++.

    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 .
