Hello, I am writing a program with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 that detects certain keystrokes (eg. Ctrl+F1), returns the value of the keystroke, and preforms a certain action based on that value. I can detect them fine when the form with the code is open, but I cant figure out how to get the program to work when another program has focus (and the form is minimized). How do I get the program to detect keystrokes when it is mimimized or does not have focus?

You use Direct Input to scan the keystrokes as they come in, or you hook the keyboard drivers to intercept any key presses before the Windows kernel reads them. I don't believe either of these can be done with VB.NET.
