Hello
I'm working on a project for school where I need to listen for a buttonpress on an unfocused application and I have no idea how to do this or if Java even can do this.
The application I'm doing is a screenshot grabber that listens to the PrntScrn key.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
Not sure that a Java program can listen for events if it doesn't have the focus.
maybe write an application that has the keypressed listener in it but make the shell size 0X0 and have no views or anything in it and then somehow find a way to maintain that, that application always stays on top? Sorta like you have a ghost program running ontop of everything else.
Wouldn't that cause problems with the other program that you work with? let's say if you play a game or something.
