Dear Micro,

my Italian is not very good (=non-existent

). Could you (or someone else) translate your question to those of us who do not speak it? I think it will increase the chances of you getting an answer.

ok.

I want at any time, also if at that moment the focus is on a label or a textbox or a form or other, capture the button pressed on the keyboard.
In vb.net with the function of GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32.dll" can get everything but with basic4ppc can not get.
Can you help?

Bye

Sorry, don't know the answer to that one.

Unless you could modify the the routines from Erel's kiosk example? (if you are doing it on the Ppc that is)

use the textbox's keypress event - it brings back the key that was pressed.

as for a label there is no way.

I think it might take something written in C++ to access the sip keypresses.
That is beyond my understanding sorry to say.

I've started dabbling in C# writing a custom SIP that covers the area of the normal sip and allows me to show alphabet for strings and numeric for numbers.
My sip won't be brought up by the sip icon though. When a control gets focus it calls the Show method.

regards, Ricky

See the first example in the Door library documentation (KeyPreview): Door

ok Erel, it works perfectly.
Only a problem, why the key "Tab" is not captured?
