How to receive a pressd keys (keyboard) from other applications

Hello Everyone,

I would like to implement a application with C++ for receiving/checking the pressed keys form another applications which are Text editor, such as Word51.


  +-------------+            +-------------+
  | Text editor |----------->| Application |
  +-------------+            +-------------+
  'A' is pressed                    got 'A'


When key 'A' is pressed in Text editor, the Application will get 'A'.

Could anybody tell me ideas or techniques that, How can I solve this problem?
Regards
LB.

  • "I would like to implement a application with C++"

    Then why are you looking at an 8051?

    And why are you asking on the Keil forum - as Keil do not have a C++ compiler for the 8051.
    (there are some front-end pre-processors, but they are from 3rd parties).

    "receiving/checking the pressed keys form another applications"

    The 8051 really isn't suitable as a "multi-application" platform

    "Text editor, such as Word51."

    What is Word51?

    I meant C.

    I want to use multi processors


    What is Word51?

    It is a word processor for 8051's that i will develop.

  • Why on earth would anyone want a Wordprocessor for an 8051??!!

    But, if you are developing it, then you have complete freedom to implement this in whatever way suits you best!

  • If you are writing this for a PC. The question should be addressed to a windows group.

    If you are writing code for a 8052 based CPU, then you need to restate the problem.
