in thread Reading keyboard input without focus

Unfortunately all that code does is register a hot key. It's just a windows API call that enables a program to receive global hot keys (e.g. CTRL+ALT+Z). It won't allow your program to receive all keyboard input.

There is a good essay on how to set up a global mouse hook over at the code project
