Key Trapping without Focus
I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get a wxApplication to catch a Key event without the application window not being in focus.

I’m only interested in the Windows 2000/XP environment.

The idea being that a keyboard even will trigger my program even though it’s still hidden.

I’ve tried setting keyboard events to the wxTaskbar, but that doesn’t seem to catch anything.

Any suggestions ?

You could try:
