on top

I made a very simple program that counts keystrokes.

The only two problems I ran into was the fact that I have no clue how to keep the program on top, or give it the option to be always on top. And secondly, I need it to catch every keystroke made, not just if the person is typing into the program i made.

As for installing a global keyhook... I understand that you are not
making this program for malicious purposes (I have attempted to
make the same project you describe, inspired by the recently deceased
Project Dolphin). However, since installing a global keyhook could
potentially be used for malicious purposes (password theft, etc),
we can't help you with that here. Sorry. :-\ Even if you're not planning
on using it that way, the information would still be available to just
anyone looking to use it for whatever purpose.

As for the Always on Top thing, just set the form's TopMost property
to True.

Ok thanks for the always on top answer. Do you know anywhere where I might be able to find out how to do that? I'm basically making this program for myself, since I had a program called keymeter a long time ago that worked on win 95, it wont work on XP, and I only found it a few places on google and the links were broken, all of the other keymeter software I find has other features I don't want.
