key press recognition please help.

[Gary Jackson]

Hi All
Hop u can help me with my problem, I am new to c++ and have started
an application, on my form I have a number of edit boxes and each one is
incremented by 1 each time a specific key is pressed. My problem is that I
want to run 5 keyboards to this app and the only way to increment the edit
box is if the focus is set to that box, but I need to be able to press any
of the 5 keyboards keys and the edit boxes no matter which will increment as
needed, is there a way of monitering the key presses and setting the focus
into each edit box at key press activation.

Please help I have dived in at the deep end !!! but I would realy like
to get this running...

Thanks in advance.

This is specific to your operating system and application framework.
