capturing keypresses without a text box

[SykoStokkrTim]

I'm working on a keylogger, and I figured VB6 would do the job. Is there any way to get the last key pressed into a variable?

yeah if you don't want a textbox just use the forms keydown or keypress event and you can capture the keys they press

I know that, but what is the variable from the keypress event?

 

[vb5prgrmr]

Option Explicit

dim Char as string

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Char=chr(KeyCode)
End Sub

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Char=chr(KeyAscii)

End Sub

Private Sub Form_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Char=chr(KeyCode)
End Sub

Don't forget that KeyPreview in the form must be True.
