problem with keyboard events
hi, i use Visual C++ 2008 and i got a problem..
i want to create a program, which detect user keyboard ( also all combination with ctrl, alt and shift ) or mouse ( button 3, 4, 5, clicks ) events, all these keys got different actions. All these events are determinated by user and this program should work not in focus.
For example: i can launch a game or something and my program should work.
other example about events: user create a event Ctrl+u, if this event detected, simulate a other key press e.g. "A", next event can be Shift+Alt+F2 this one simulate a "B" key press and so on. how user need to save these events to the file? use ascii? or what? i asking because dont know how to detect all these events, how to detect all keyboard combinations and so on.
Thanks,
maga

Usually, event handles are provided by GUI toolkit, of course, as I think you can use OS API.
Your main task to implement what you want is to register your callback.
