If your working in dos:

#include "stdio.h"
void main() {

char key, mem;
while((key = getche()) != 27 {
mem = peekb(0x40, 0x1A); /* pointer to next word in keyboard buffer */
if(mem == 0x1E) mem = 0x3C; /*look at the previous word (what you just typed)
else mem -=2;

printf("%002x", peekb(0x40, mem)); /* print ascii char */
printf("%002x\n", peekb(0x40, mem + 1)); /* print scan code */
}
}

I want to read from the buffer even while my program is not in focus like a key logger, but I dont want to use hooks

Hi All,
How do you do. I have one quick question.
Will be great if you can reply me back.
I would like to read data from the keyboard buffer on windows 2000. Is there any set os APIs with which I can achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

Have a Great Day,

Why do you need a key-logger?
Steal passwords?
Spy?

Hrm...I can usually tell what key's I'm hitting....hrm.....
