KeystrokeAPI

A simple Keystroke API written in C# that works for any version of Windows. It abstracts the access to the win32.dll and the handling of low level hooks (only keyboard for now).

Instalation

Install-Package KeystrokeAPI

How to use

1 - Call the CreateKeyboardHook() method passing your callback like this:

api.CreateKeyboardHook((character) => { Console.Write(character); });

2 - Implement your own "Windows Message Loop" OR call this:

Application.Run();

NOTE: This call starts the windows message loop for you, but you will need to reference the System.Windows.Forms.dll in your project. Click here to know why.

Example (Using a Console Application)

class Program
{
	static void Main(string[] args)
	{
		using (var api = new KeystrokeAPI())
		{
			api.CreateKeyboardHook((character) => { Console.Write(character); });
			Application.Run();
		}
	}
}
