    you could use MAPI.

    and it's odd that the OP hasn't posted since post #6. and how do you know this isn't a key logger? he hasn't answered one way or another.

    lmao!! "if he had the knowledge to do anything malicious with this code then he'd have been able to write it himself." THAT is the definition of a script kiddie

    i'm pretty sure if i gave him working code for a keylogger (which I do in my sig actually), he'd figure out how to use it maliciously.

    I spent a long time searching high and low for a solution, MAPI is not it because:

    And that is the story everywhere I have ever read, I always do my research, sometimes I don't find something that someone else does, but I always try.


    This sends keys, not detects them, so this can't log the keys. but, if he was using this in a keylogger, would it make much difference? It would be easier to save it to a file or to use another function to submit it in say a webform with an HTTPRequest/HTTPPost or using a webbrowser control.

    I still can not see any malicious use for sending a key to a window without the window having focus. Maybe I'm missing something glaringly obvious. I am not a professional programmer and have only undertaken courses in MatLab and basic Java, so who knows perhaps it really can be used maliciously?
