    Angry key presses

    sorry for already asking this but i am trying to make my prog read key presses even when the prog is not active. I have tried keyboard procs but to make a global hook i will need to make extra dlls which i dont want to do. Are there any other methods of scanning for key presses?

    If you want system wide keylogging, you will need a dll........

    Only if you wish to hook a specific thread....you can pass NULL for this if you want
