C# very simple keyboard hook

Question

im trying to create a custom macro program in C# and I want to know how I can create a low level keyboard hook. I have looked around and have found some but i do not understand how they work or how i can customise it :/

can anyone show me how I can create a keyboard hook that basically does:

once any key is pressed, the int keycode is set to a method (i think the VK code is what i need?)

the exampels i find online seem too complicated for that :/

Thanks :)

Answer 1

A Simple C# Global Low Level Keyboard Hook on CodeProject seems about right. It was the second hit on Google when I searched for 'keyboard hook' and the first when I searched for your exact title. Have you tried it?

Answer 2

I wrote a RAW INPUT example on code project here, it may be helpful as a starting point.
