    Does anyone have an idea of how to hook the keyboard under Windows 98? I have to catch the character, send to ANY application running? Maybe win32 hook is the right solution, but on what application to install it??? "Needless redundancy is the hobgoblin of software engineering." - Peter Darnell

      As far as I know there are two ways to do this: 1) Set a Journal Record Hook (use SetWindowsHookEx with WH_JOURNALRECORD) 2) Use AttachThreadInput directly (will probably lock up your computer sooner or later and create a forehead-shaped bump in your desk) Anyway, more than keystrokes are recieved from the RIT, and you need to sort them out from other hardware messages. /moliate
