asked on Visual Basic Console Application Keyboard Hook
Hello, I'm looking for an example on how to implement a keyboard hook to capture certain keys in my CONSOLE app, not forms,
For example: F1 to Help or F10 to exit the app from anywhere.
I found C# examples and Form examples. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Alex

Excelent! Thanks
Caveat: a console has not necessarily a keyboard associated. Because it has also not always a window associated
See How To Obtain a Console Window Handle (HWND), GetConsoleWindow function.
You need to "hook" into stdin instead to be save.
