Hi Philip, Would you mind sending me some example source code how to do this. I'm clueless on how to set a low-level key hook, and it might save me time and frustration researching this if you could just send me some source code examples of how to do this.
As for the win32 keyboard events I know. They are slow and they suck in any kind of fast action game so that would definitely not be my first choice. Fixing the problem with JFW and DirectInput is definitely my goal here. Thanks.
