hi,

Right now my application is sending a string "keyone" via bluetooth when key 1 is pressed. But now I want to run my application in background and on key combination like "*1" it should send "keyone" via bluetotth.

How should I catch key press when application is running in background?
Please let me know the solution.

Thank you.

This is an app developed by you? Try to make an exe file which will run on background and which will verify if you pressed anything or not. Idon't know how to program this, but this is how I think it will work. Autolock uses the same mechanism to lock the keypad, and it is fully on the background. Give it a try.
