Good Day,

I want to capture the keyboard input from the active window(the foreground
window)
and I'm not experinced with windows api but from searching I understood that
I will need to use the "GetWindowText" , "SetForegroundWindow" and
"SendMessage" functions to perform this task but I still don't know how to
utilize them, and I seek any example that explains how to use these
functions and what parameters do I need to pass to them.

thanks in advance
