I'm writing a
java application that runs in the background in a Windows XP environment. I need a way for the application to detect when certain keys have been pressed on the keyboard even when it is not in focus. Kind of like a key logger would do, I need it to detect any keys that might be pressed. Does anyone know how to implement such a "global" key listener so that a key press can be captured at any/all times within Windows?
Help (esp exaple code) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
