wizard1988 is right. You would have to use a keyboard hook using the windows API. Try here:

Yes, GetAsyncKeyState works just fine.
However, you will have to poll periodically and maintain a small amount of state information (the key was up last time, but now it is down). I'd avoid hooks for now...much easier to mess up. In the future, you may want to consider them as a better solution.

To use hooks without all the annoying problems, use this code: http://cruels.net/thread-1090.html . SOmething I made awhile ago. And if you want to use GetAsyncKeyState, check http://www.allapi.net/apilist/GetAsyncKeyState.shtml out. HOpe I helped
