What I'm trying to do is get the form to catch any key on the keyboard that has been pressed so it will reset a timer?

and is it possible to catch these keys stokes even though the app is running in the background?

Ok, i got this

Private Sub Main_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode > Keys.LButton Then
           
        End If

which seems to do what i want
someone please let me know if there is a simpler/better way of doing this


if anyone could let me know how to catch this while the form isn't active would be greatly appreciated

thanx n adv
