    Hey gang,

    Just starting a little app and have hit the wall already...

    In short, using VB6, I'd like to monitor/process key events from within
    SWX.

    But, the app can't monitor key events unless it has focus and you can't
    work SWX unless it has focus.

    I'm thinking I need to build an add-on (dll) to relay the keyevents.
    I can't find anything re keyevents from SWX online or otherwise.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks for any help.

    yes you will want to write an addin. I would recommend using vb.net
    to do so though rather than vb6, I think it will better supported in
    the future and SWX provides an addin template that you can just
    customize.
