    Unhappy

    Hi Guys !

    I really need to know how a vb-program can run (or "sleep") in the background and still "listens" to a user action (like Mouseclick or Keypress).

    My program reacts only when it is the active programm.

    Can anybody tell me what needs to be done?

    That would make me very happy !!!

    Thank you
    Dani

    You can use GetAsynckeystate to listen to key codes and GetCursorpos to get cursor position. Search on these topics

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
