Thread: Some suggestions about keyboard input ?

At my university, me and a couple of friends were given a task to write remote control application, something like radmin but it should be more simple. I am working on the part getting the keys the user types on the keyboard, something like keylogger. The whole thing must be done in PURE C.
The problem is this: How can i make keylogger-like program in C ? I know that there are some libraries for C++, i looked at some API at the microsoft page, but is there some other way to do it ? And if there isn't, can I implement those APIs in my C code ?
Thanks.

You don't need a keylogger type application for this. When your remote control application has the focus, it will get all keyboard and mouse input. The only thing a keylogger would do is allow you to get keyboard input even when your application does not have the focus, and this doesn't make sense.

I know what you are trying to say, but the project for me is to build a keylogger in pure C.
I also know that i can use GetKeyboardState() and the similar APIs in C++, but i just want to know: is there some other way ?
