    It's like keylogger but I only want to know how many times they pressed the keyboard each day. I'm doing it in windows form. I'd love to have some help or at least what to type in google. :) Edit : Thank's to this[^] article. :laugh:

        I'm going to join this keylogging into my chatting application so my friend chat less and work much more. They'll be able to know how many letters they typed in a day. Is that a bad idea? I've searched everywhere in google and tried in new project but still can't. You can see my history of question, I ask when I don't know what to do. :)

          Then you aren't looking for what you said originally. Within your app you could do that, but then why would your friend use it? And mightn't he type in Notepad and then paste to your app? Whatever you do, you won't get what you want anyway. Just tell your friend to get back to work.

                Handling the forms keydown event would give you a count of key strokes within the application.

                    Who ask you about difference between working and screwing around? I only want to know how to hook keyboard press in a windows form even after it's minimized or not focused. Look, I managed to solve my own problem. I ask here nicely to get some help so I can finish this faster. This is what I called (solution) even it's not what I want, I appreciate it.

                    Dave, I believe you know how to do this. But I don't know why everytime you respond my question, always something weird like your question above. I tried to learn, not "gimme code to hook keyboard press please thank you email me bla bla". Next time if you're not going to give me some help, then please find another question to answer.

                      > It's only for 3 of my friend. > This is to make them enjoy working. Smacks of "the floggings will continue until morale improves". I think you may soon have 3 fewer friends if you go ahead with this. You can't make people enjoy working, but it's easy to make them not enjoy working...

                          I never claimed to, but I'm learning things about you quickly. You go ahead - I'm sure your 'friends' will enjoy their work much more knowing their keystrokes are being logged.

                            You should've told me about this earlier. I'm a programmer in this company and nothing much to do. I won't and not going to do something useless for them if they didn't ask. This application is what they want, not me. I'm angry because I can't fullfill what they want. Sorry for misunderstanding. :( Oh ya, I didn't log their key, I only count how many times they typed.

                              Yes. You'll need to inform the victim that he/she is being monitored, otherwise you're in a heap o' legal trouble. Second, it's bad advertisement; I would never work for someone who does not trust me. That's non-negotiable, there's no "working together" without trust.

                                  Location, possibly; but the Dutch aren't the only ones with strict privacy-laws. No monitoring here without consent.
