How To Detecting Keyboard Entry While Application is Out Of Focus

Hi I have just recently started programming in c#, lm creating a program that shows a window if specified keys are pressed, but while the window is not showing the form keyPressed event cannot be viewed. I was wondering if there was any way to detect the keyboard actions while the program form is hidden. Can anyone help with this?

You mean something like Hotkeys?
