Hi All

Ok I am a little further. I now have my form created, I have it minimizing on startup, it hides the Taskbar Icon and I now have a small icon in the System Tray indicating that the program is running. Now I have the following code in the KeyDown Event of my form

Code:
Select Case e.KeyCode
           Case Keys.F12
           Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
End Select
This works ok as long as I dont open any other applications, basically the form is still the focus, but obviously it stops working the minute the form loses focus. I have looked at the thread on Low Level Keyboard hooks but this is way above my head. Is there an easier way for my form to detect the F12 key even though it does not have focus?

Cheers
