Picking up input events

[Pappe]

Does anyone have a god answer to this question.

I would like to make a pogram that can react to user input even if its not the active program. More in detail, I am trying to reset an integer every time the user presses a key or uses the mouse. The program is going to run in the background and log the actions.

I would like to write the progrm in VB.Net if possible but C.Sharp is my second choise.

Kind regards //Pappe

To trap system-wide keyboard and/or mouse input, you'll want to use the API call SetWindowsHookEx. See the following article for more info (it's C#, but can be converted fairly easily if you know what you're doing )
