Hello together,

I need help for my little project.

I will monitoring the keyboard.
When a user press 3 times in a row a "0" then msgbox "..."

And it will be good, when the programm is not in the task list.

Thank you

There are (at least) two ways to approach this, and
neither one is very appropriate for scripting. You
would be better advised to try some other language
with a system api call capability.

If you are looking to detect keystrokes when YOUR OWN
app is active, then you could "subclass" your window,
and check for wm_char messages. Note that subclassing
means setting up a wndproc and filtering certain system
messages, before passing them along to the system for
processing.

If you are looking to detect keystrokes in a more
general case (i.e., "system-wide", or keystrokes entered
when ANY app is active), then you need to use "hooking".
Hooking is even more tricky than invoking the usual api
calls. If you are serious about this, you can find
various utilities to help -- for example, there is
"DSKEYBRD" (by Juergen Thuemmler, a.k.a. Delphin Software),
a dll which will allow you to intercept keystrokes. You
can find that here (about half-way down the page):

You may find this easy to use from VB or VBA, or any other
language with the ability to call api's. However, to use
it from script, you will have to build an "infrastructure",
something that will take a while (but _is_ possible).

cheers, jw
