There is no good, clean way to intercept the pressing of keys (or mouse events) unless you're controlling a window that has the focus.
The only thing that comes to mind is to install an application-wide windows hook for keyboard events. This is C++ - class work; I would not even attempt it with p/invoke, but instead would go for a piece of MC++ (with some unmanaged code to tie up to the actual hook chain) Done it before, works beautifully, but is not for the faint of heart. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.

Hi all, Does anyone know of a way to use the My.Computer.Keyboard class to detect when a user has press the 'Enter' key. I would like to use this in a dll (does not contain a form). If not, would someone please point me towards a way of accomplishing this task? Thank you very much for your time and knowledge.
