keylistener to help my 2 year old learn her ABC's!

Sep 4 2010 9:34 PM
Hello all!

I want to write a windows form app that when executed listens for key strokes from the keyboard. When the 'a' key is pressed an audio recording will say the letter and then the phonics. 

Question is: how do I listen for any key stroke when the app is executed? This would be a super simple form app that I would eventually add an image when the key is pressed with the letter. My daughter is always trying to type on my keyboard and getting in trouble I thought this would be a fun way for her to learn. 

Does C# have a keylistener like java? if so I could use that with a simple switch and be ready to go.

Cant get the "reply" to work on this thing. weird. I agree that there are probably a lot of great programs out there. but I am just out of college and just thought I would try something new. I know its nerdy but I love learning new things! I did get the keylistener to work using a simple event handler. ended up being about 6 lines of code. Now the fun stuff of adding audio!
