hi all,
problem: i have several controls on my form which can get focus, like
buttons/combos. i have to catch keyboard events for special keys like Alt-F1
on my form, for that, i simply implemented keydown event handler on my form
control, but when some other control has focus, all keypress events are
generated on that control.
Q: how can i implement an application wide keypress event handler, so that
if Alt-F1 is press on any control (or on any dialogue of the app), my single
event handler can grab it?
TIA

Try setting Keypreview = true for your form. This should allow its key event
handlers to catch most keys...

I want to log the user out when there has been a period of inactivity in
the application. The key here is inactivity of the application, not the
system. I know that you can retrieve the inactivity of the system via
GetLastInputInfo. That's not what I want - I want inactivity of the
application.
Thanks.

I need to monitor the status of the mouse on an application-wide basis (i.e., not just for the control that owns the mouse). One I idea I had was to create a shared class that inherits from timer and tests Windows.Forms.Control.MouseButtons and Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current.Position in the tick event. Obviously this technique is not perfect because I am relying on the tick event. Also, I've discovered that Windows.Forms.Control.MouseButtons...

Hi all,
I have written a small application that runs from the system tray. I need
to be able to identify when a user has pressed certain key combinations in
any aplication and then respond to them in my app. I have looked into system
wide hooking but it seems very complicated and I have read that this can only
be done using a C# dll. Can anyone help with this or at least point me in
the right direction ?
Thanks,

I have an application that uses input from a barcode reader via a USB

If the user opens up another application (not mines) such as
notepad/word, etc, the Barcode Reader reads data into the applicaton
that currently has focus with is notepad/word but not my own
applicaton.
My question is as follows: Is there a way to write a Listener

Hi,
I just write an application in C# that show an interface with five

front of the main C# application with focus on. When the users finish
to use the external program and close it, under there is still the c#
application that let the user choose other software to start.
Now the problem is that sometimes I lost the focus of the external
application and so it becomes...

So I have a keyboard hook that I have implemeted into my c# app. I need to
not allow any hotkey actions to be performed when my app is opened. I can
capture the key events and handle them if I want to. The only problem is
that I have fields that require input. Do I have to programmatically add the
characters to the input fields when I am handling the event. I don't want
these keys sent to the system. But only to my program.

Hi,
How can select a single word of text, in any application, e.g. Windows
Explorer, Internet Explorer etc. , without double clicking it and instead use
a combination of mouse and keyboard, for example Left Control key + Right
Mouse Button, and retrieve that word into my application.
The app Babylon does somthing similar to this, so I guess it's possible to
do it in c# too.
Any ideas?
