Active while in system Tray?

[Brandon]

I am trying to create an application that will stay in the tray and still record key presses(ControlX Object)and save them to a file. The one I made only works when it is the active window. Is it possible to do this while the application is in the tray?

Set this application with the window object always on top and hide it.

btw - So you're able too to get all keyboard events without an activeX control.

Thanks I'll try that.

btw - it isn't an activex object, it's an object called ControlX

Ah... you're right... You mean this extension ... confused it.

I made an application with the events:
+Always
-Set Window Topmost
-Hide Window

This didnt record the key strokes and it made it harder to close and open things because of the "Topmost" action.

[Gustav]

1. Application -> Properties -> Window -> check "Hidden at start"

2. Start of Frame -> Set window topmost

That's the right way and that works.

[Brandon]

everything works well that way... except it still won't record the key presses unless it is the active window (while it is hidden), so it defeats the purpose of what I am trying to do.

Why are you making a keylogger anyway?

I actually just found out about keyloggers and I was curious as to if I could make one or not. It seems the answer is no.
