Stix19 Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 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.
*Experts* Volte Posted February 20, 2003 *Experts* Posted February 20, 2003 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. :)
Stix19 Posted February 20, 2003 Author Posted February 20, 2003 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.
