    Can someone explain how to develop a program that capture keystrokes and write them to a log file or text file? Like a keystroke monitor program.

      Key loggers are always suspicious. You purpose of developing one might or might not be an honest one. And, DO NOT CROSS POST.

        It's always comforting to me that the people who want to write evil software, usually have no idea how to do it. Now, you may have a perfectly valid reason to write a keystroke logger, but that's not what people are going to think when you say it like that.

          Unfortunately there will always be a few people who have both the desire and knowledge to do it. Luckily we're very unlikely to ever see any of them on CP.

          There are three kinds of people in the world - those who can count and those who can't...
