Is there anyway i chould key for a general keypress. I want to make a program that counts the number of times i press a button, but i dont know how to do it outside the actual program. (which makes it impossible for me to use it in things like word/games etc...)

Anyone that can point me in the right direction?

NOTE:
This is not a keylogger, it is more of a keycounter

You have to get in the WinAPI stuff. The thing you need is hooking.

SetWindowsHookEx

SetWindowsHookEx with WH_KEYBOARD hook.
