Why are you making a keystroke logger :I

Whoops, sorry. Wasn't thinking when I posted.

I don't think making a key logger is a good idea... especially in America.

Why specifically not in America?

You know... FBI might find out and things like that. You're more likely to get busted than say Russia or Nigeria.

I don't know anything about VB.NET (whatever that is. A programming language I suppose, but I've never heard of it), but obviously you shouldn't need a TextBox to write into if you want to record keystrokes that don't input data into your (potentially malicious) program.

Guys, it's completely legal. They're mainly used for security purposes, like to make sure an employee isn't writing viruses, and the government uses them to watch suspected criminals.

Writing into that text box was for testing purposes.

*Ahem* Assumption *Ahem*

I've read articles about this sort of thing in Popular Mechanics.

Let's not make this political, guys. I just want the answer.

I made one before. It has the ability to capture which key but I just used it to make a graph of how many keys I press each day. No I'm not going to post the source code on a public forum.

What I will show is

GetAsyncKeyState(Cnt) <> 0

That should get you started.

I think the reason he isn't posting it is because even if you're not gonna use it for illegal purposes, anyone else who sees it could (right?). Unless you give him your email or something.

I'd say you were more likely to get busted in Russia, actually.

But you're more likely to get arrested for no reason in the U.S. 

When I saw the title I thought "Sounds like he's making a keylogger" and then I saw "I am trying to make a keystroke logger"

iWin!

Put what-the's code in a timer tick event:
For i = 1 To 255
Dim key as Integer = GetAsyncKeyState(I)
Next

You also need to include this line so that it knows what code to look for:
Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal vKey As Long) As Integer
Put this somewhere in the form class between functions and stuff.

I havent tested any of this but if you need any more help let me know

GetAsyncKeyState' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.
