Windows Events

[Guest]

Hi. I wanting to have a Windows Service that monitors keystrokes in any application. I pretty much just want to be notified whenever someone presses a key no matter what application they are using: Outlook, Word, etc. I'm having no luck figuring out how to monitor Windows Events. Any ideas on how to do this?

I am not sure if that will work in a service, but a keyboard hook is the way
to go:
