keyboard hooks for IE alone

Hi all,
I want to develop a application that logs the keys pressed only when IE

is active(i.e. in focus).The hook must not log any key press when any
windows or applications are in focus.How to do this?
Thanks and regards,
hema

Means you just want to logs the keys when IE is maximise and have focus
on it.
And want to stop the logging when the IE lost the
focus.......... .........

Since your are using c# your "proogram" will not run unless dotnet
happens to be installed on the machiene.

Is this a suitable language for the type of "applicatio n" you appear to
be developing.

I've looked at DirectX.DirectInput, and using user32.dll to hook into the keyboard messages, but neither method seems to allow for identification of...

Hi, in my application I want to react to certain keys when a context menu is showing. So I installed a keyboard hook, but now whenever a key is pressed when the menu is showing, the application crashes and sometimes throws a NullReferenceException in system.windows.forms.dll. I assume that the hook somehow messes up the context menu's message loop or something like this. I also had this problem with a mouse hook, so i guess its a...

I have a Windows form application running that contains a button and textbox. An easy thing to do is to monitor the last time a keystroke was executed in the textbox. I can then click the button and it will say: "The last keystroke in the textbox was 10 minutes ago." This is not what I want to do. What I would like to see is a message that says: "The last keystroke in any running application on this computer was 23 minutes ago." My...

hello all, I am working on a project related to Internet Explorer. I want my application to be invoked by a keypress( single key stroke or a combination).

Can i implement the keyboard hooks related methods in the same project as my application or should this be else...

I have an application that minimizes itself, and I want it to listen for certain key commands, and when they are pressed, my program can react to them. So far I've gotten my application to react as I intend while the program has focus, but when the application loses focus, the listening stops. I am using VS 2008 beta 2, with .net 3.5.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
