Originally posted in ms_compatibility, it was suggested I move it here...

I've got a series of messages that are given to the user at different 
stages of a process, and I'm simply using MessageBox for them (no real 
reason not to up until this point).

Now, my client would like me to add the ability to 'print' the text 
contents of them.  No big deal, but rather than 'roll my own' message 
box with a 'print' button on it, I was wondering whether anyone had 
played around with finding out if keys can be captured by an application 
while a messagebox is up -- then I could simply put a line at the bottom 
that says "Press CTRL-P to print this screen" or something similar.

Barring that, any other suggestions/solutions that come to mind?  If 
not, I'll simply do the roll-your-own one...
