I want to detect all the keys like when I press "shift" and 'a' it will convert the character 'a' into 'A' or when I press the capslock then it will show all the characters into upper case characters, and it will also detect combination of keys like ctrl+shift+y, shift+ctrl+c or alt+ctrl+b etc.......I have hooked the keyboard but I have not succeeded in getting the above mentioned functionality all I am getting is whenever I press 'a' it shows me 'aa' means duplicate/double the character, so what should I do......

Here is my call back function of global keyboard hook

private  int callBack(int nCode, int wParam, ref hookStruct lParam)
        {
           char temp;
           
                if (nCode >= 0)
                {
                    Keys number = (Keys)Marshal.ReadInt32(lParam.vkCode);
                    switch (wParam)
                    { 
                        case WM_KEYDOWN : 
                        case WM_SYSKEYDOWN :
                            if (lParam.vkCode>=65 && lParam.vkCode<=90)
                            {
                               temp = (Char)lParam.vkCode;
                               temp = Char.ToLower(temp);
                              data = data + temp;
                            }

                         else if (lParam.vkCode >= 65 && lParam.vkCode <=90)
                           {
                               temp = (Char)lParam.vkCode;
                               temp = char.ToUpper(temp);  
                             data = data + temp;
                            }
                         else if (lParam.vkCode == 32)
                           {
                               temp = (Char)lParam.vkCode;
                               data = data + temp;
                           }

                            break;

                            
                    }


                }            
            
            return CallNextHookEx(hookID, nCode, wParam, ref lParam);
        }

I don't know if this function good enough to detect the keys that I want to detect..........

Key-logger like behavior?
It seems you have had other topics relating to such activity.

We generally don't help with these kinds of subjects because some people may have malicious intent. Sorry.
