Detect pressed key on other application

[SirDrake]

Hi, I'm trying to detect determinated key, when pressed,  when I'm on other application, I tried hotkeyset and _isPressed functions but didn't work...or maybe I wrong something...There is a way to detect the numpad keyboard when I'm using other applications?

Show your code so we can see what you did... and which application are you using when the hotkey doesn't work?

That is likely the key thing here were most have some protection against this. 
Either way: Please read our forumrules now as we have a section in there that explicitly states we don;t want to see any game automation threads.
