Have you tried anything?

actually i am building a virtual keyboard but symbols are associated with different keys. i already built the gui with keyboard buttons and when i click on those button corresponding key printed on notepad.

but the problem comes when i am using keyboard(real). i want to change the keys associated with keyboard and print a different one. like when I press "a" on my keyboard in notepad it should print "b"(say).

all the time my java gui program minimized.

A minimized GUI doesn't receive input. Change your requirements.

but i have a keyboad written in vc++ which, when minimized still change the keyboard(real) value. as log as it open or running keyboard(real) value changed.

What I said at #4 pertains to Java.
