How can a program receive input (from the keyboard) if a textbox doesn't have focus? Say if a program is going to lock up the computer (for windows 98 or whatever) as a security setting, and it'll only receive keyboard inputs and it waits for the password to be typed to unlock the pc so the user can work again.

I've seen it before, I just don't know how to do it. -Ovatvvon :-Q
 
That was left as an exercise for the reader...
