Marco,
Are you sure the video stops playing because loose the focus? Is it posible because loose foreground?
Oh, that's a really interesting question. I can't answer this, because I don't know a way of letting the Application loose focus without loosing foreground too :-(
Would it make any difference?
No, not until now. But I don't think this application has a setting like "always on top" or something like this :-(Have you tried to set the video window as topmost window ?
It is indeed posible to capture keyboard events from another application, but it's not easy.
What do you mean with "not easy"?
I've managed to geht the keypresses, that's easy, but I could not supress them for the other applications.
By searcing the net, I've found out, the user32.dll has the functionality in need in it. The function is called SetWindowsHookEx (with the possibility to forward the Event back to windows or just supress it). But with the documentation I've found from microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com/) I was not able to find a way to use this functionality in LabView.
Bye and thanx
Marco
