Keyboard Hook -
I'm trying to set a hook so that I can respond to a key combo such as Ctrl+O, without having the app in focus.
I've tried the registerhook method but it's not comlpetely global, say if I have a game running the event is not fired when the combo is pressed.
I've looked at DirectInput which worked in VB6 but haven't found a good .net sample.
BTW it's VB2005
Cheers
