Still working on a keylogger, and I've been doing it all wrong!!

[SykoStokkrTim]

In an earlier thread, I asked for the variable used in the keypress event command, for a keylogger. I've been doing it all wrong! It will only record keys pressed while the form is in focus... SO, would anyone tell me what the port number is for keyboard input? example: internet input port = 80. I'm hoping to constantly monitor that port for input. Sorry for the longish thread, but if anyone can help, I would be grateful.

There isn't a 'port' for keyboard input. The keyboard state is monitored by the operating system and keyboard events are inserted in the appropriate message queues for each application by the OS...

Now, you'd think that there'd be some easy way of doing what the OS does, but that isn't the case. Fortunately there is a solution that was proposed in here almost a year ago. You'll find all the essentials in this thread: thread222-118564
