Keyboard and Mouse Hook

[yogiyang]

This non-visual component is a fully functional Global (System Wide) Keyboard and Mouse Hook.

It can catch all Keyboard and Mouse activities in any applications even if your application is not in fore front that is even if your application using this component is Inactive.

Hope you enjoy using this as much as I have enjoyed using it in many of my applications.

Hack,

Sorry I forgot to remove the compiled DLL.

Will be more careful next time.

Very useful. Clean code too.

Which version(s) of Windows have you tested this on? It works on XP and I will probably test it on 98 soon.

Hm, noticed something. If I show characters being typed using Chr$(KeyCode) it shows them as all capitals.

Thanks for trying it out.

It works with all versions of Windows from 9x to 2003.

Not tested on 2008 though.

It is case insesitive to shift key.

You will have to check for shift key status to know as to which of the shift keys (ctrl/shift/alt) are pressed.

I will post sample soon for better understanding.
