Listen for keystrokes even when no focus?

[Raylax]

2 threads in a short space of time, sorry ^^;

I'm making a kind of pedometer app that tracks the number of keyboard button presses made rather than steps. But, is it possible to get MMF2 to continue to apply the "Upon Pressing Any Key" condition when the application doesn't have focus? Or is there any kind of work-around for it?

The Key Object should work.

Oh, cool

Is it possible with that extension to listen for any key press, rather than specific ones? I don't fancy having to make a 226-condition event to replicate "Presses Any Key" x)

There isn't an option to get "any" keypress. You will most likely have to make an event for the most common buttons on a keyboard. The Control X extention can do this, but will not work when the window is out of focus.

Just enter GetLastKeyVal( "Key Object" ) as the key value and it should respond to any key.

Oh, thanks guys. It works now
