This is probably just a stupid question, but how would one make a program that runs in the background, that can accept input (like keypresses) without the form being in focus?
 
Making a form hidden is quite easy :
frm.ControlBox = False
frm.Caption = ""
frm.ShowInTaskBar = False

For accepting keypresses look here : This is done with an API Call.
