Trap keypress when app is not in focus

V

vsciw

Hi.

i'm trying to write an app that will capture a keypress event (down &
up) in vb.net cf2.0. i need it to work even if the app isnt in focus
(it will be running but maybe in background). i've tried the
RegisterHotKey & HardwareButton functions, but these only seem to work
when its in focus.

has anyone got any other suggestions for me to try?

regards, ian.
