How do I get a keypress when the form doesn't have focus? Is that possible in C#?
Thanks.

You will have to give the form focus before you can capture the KeyPress event, and that's not a C# thing, it's a Windows Forms issue

I am trying to do the exact same thing. To my knowledge, the only way to do it is to make a keylogger app. I will let you know if i have any luck.

That's Keyboard hooking. I'm trying to find something simpler, but looks like I'll have to resort to Keyboard hooking.
