Does anybody know how can I catch some keydown event with a background apps?
I try all of publicated library but I found only a way when my app window on focus.
It's not possible to catch keystrokes in other windows.
If you're making a keylogger (which you hopefully aren't), you can try continuous screengrabs, clipboard monitoring or "form grabbing".

My reaction was also that if it is possible then it's a potential security breach. Surely such things aren't allowed on Microsoft platforms? :SHOCKED:

I would like to write a simple clipboard tool. I think it is not so unsecurly and it is possible. I found the clipboard library on forum but i need to catch the Ctrl+C event and the other clipboard shortcut when my app isn't focused.
I think I write a simple timer which catch the clipboard any seconds but it isn't a so nice solution
I hear something about this solution Hooks Overview (Windows) but I don't know how can I implement it to my app with b4ppc.
