Global KeyPress event hookup?

How i can globally trap a keypress event? what i mean is, like, trap the CTRL+ATL+V keypress event no matter if my program is the
active or not.
Not sure how to do that, but i guess that i have to do a API hookup or something?

Thanks for the help.

Hi, I am running is some problems with the KeyPreview and KeyPress events. The KeyPress event is only triggered when there this an focusable control on the form. When all controls are disabled the Form.KeyPress event does not trigger anymore. A way to 'solve' this is to set the focus to the form, but during testing it happens ofter the keypress event is not getting triggered on keys like

I've added a button to a class inheriting from System.Web.UI.Control and want to handle (pass on) its click event to the page that contains it.

I have a VB.NET user control that I wrote - this control has three or four other controls on it (textbox, combobox, datetime picker, etc). Now, whenever the control is on a form and the user enters anything into the textbox (for instance) I trap the keypress event to handle some stuff (i.e. if it is an enter key, etc). Now, once I am done with handling the keypress event for the textbox, I then need to pass that keypress event BACK to the...

I have noticed that if a user closes a form via pressing return (either while the OK button has focus or if AcceptButton is set to OK for the form) then the "ENTER" keypress event fires ON THE CALLING FORM! This is very bad for me, because in my application, Form1 responds to an ENTER keypress by calling Form2. If the user closes Form2 via an ENTER, then Form1 just reopens it again, kind of trapping the user in Form2 (they can still close...

hello, I am trying to write code for form activate event and for an event of an object. Generally, you select the object/form from the top combo box in visual studio ide, and select the event you want to code for from the right combo box... which would generate a template ready to write code for the event.

Hi, I have a strange issue occurring with LinkButtons that are dynamically added to each (data) row of my DataGrid on that grid's ItemDataBound event. Each LinkButton is assigned its own event handler to deal with the Command event, but for some reason I can get this to work in a C# project but not in a newly created VB.NET one. The relevant VB.NET is as follows:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
