How to raise an event on MS word Keypress

Question

I am developing a MS-Word addon in which my code has to get access to the letters the user is entering through the keyboard.

private void ThisDocument_Start         


        

Answer 1

Microsoft doesn't expose a key down event natively, but there's a workaround.

I implemented keyboard checking with help from the article linked below:

This gives you a static method called IsKeyDown, implementing and invoking a delegate you can subscribe to should be fairly straight forward.
