hi

I'm trying to make a programm that can catch keystrokes while not focused,
I should be able to catch the keystrokes, but if I'm typing in e.g. notepad
the text should be visible.
Is that possible ????

You must put your key handling functions in a dll and register it as
system-wide keyboard-hook. Search for the topic "About Hooks" in the
Win32SDK help.
