Capturing System-wide keystrokes.

29 Jul 2002

      Hi everyone,

                         I am writing an app that runs in the background and captures

system wide keystokes in order to manipulate them to produce different effects

ie. to change the behavior of the key's actions. Could someone suggest ways to do this.

Effectively, I am intercepting keys and depending on which keystroke is received, I have

to do something like a key substitution/manipulation.

So, what approach is required.

eg : If the user presses Ctrl+S, I may have to intercept this and send Alt+S to the system. Thus I substitute Ctrl with Alt.

Please advice.

Thanks & Regards,
