How To Get Unfocused Key Strokes
Jul 1, 2010
What I am doing is making a key shortcut program where the user can set that if he presses a certain key combination from anywhere on his computer while the program is still running, a defined action or program will execute. I know how to use the keyup or keydown to get the key input when the form is focused but how do you get the key input when the form is not focused or hidden. The form will be minimized to an icon in the system tray. I have not started working on the program yet since the whole purpose of the program is this.

I'm trying to send the keys "ABC" and "Enter" to Notepad when I press a button. I've been reading forever on Hooks, "SendKeys" functions, but I can't figure it out. I don't think I need to use a hook, because I'm not making a hotkey or anything, I'm just pressing a button and sending the keystrokes to a window when it's not focused.

I am absolutely not making a key logger. Second of all, this is for personal use only, I just want to try it out since I am trying to build a virus scanner. What code would assist me in recording key strokes in the background?

I am making a little application to provide a simple GUI for editing controls for some old games that use INI files to store their config.I have just come across the following ini file key but I can't see how it is storing the controls. It is meant to be for an NES pad, which has 8 buttons - Up, Down, Left, Right, Start, Select, A, B.

Is there Any way to handle the crtl + Alt + Del Key combination. Take for instance in a quiz application (Win Forms ), the user should not be able to switch to other windows till the test is over.
I'm able to capture the ctrl and alt key strokes individually, using c# standard properties. but once they user hits the del key . The control goes out of my appliation and windows handles it.

I'm trying to develop macros for games. I'm currently coding with vb 2010 and I'm using the keybd_event API. It works great, I've done many working macros but I cannot find a way to send arrow strokes using this API. (Left, Right, Up, Down) I don't want to use the numpad. Here is what I've found: [Code] For some reason, nothing happens, no keystroke seems to have been sent. When I use any other ascii decimal from the ascii table, it does work but not for the arrow strokes.
