Hi,
Could someone give me a pointer to do the following:
I would like to capture a keystroke from "anywhere" , i.e If the user is in
Word, Excel, Myother app, desktop etc... and they press CTRL+F12 I would
like to capture this, pass it to my app and process my sub/function
dependant on the keystroke.
Thanks for any pointers
Mike
