Hi!
I want to write a windows service that can disable certain keys when pressed before they get into a program.
For example the delete key on my keyboard is broken and repeatedly presses itself.
Is there a way that I can trap the keypress and have it do nothing in effect disabling the key

Seriously, if you were to attempt this (assuming you have good intentions here), you couldnt achieve it using the .NET framework - the only way I know of is to use a global hook (which is very unfriendly to the perf of your system) - and is not supported by the .NET Framework, as it doesnt support DLLExport.
