Running Two Different Programs Simutanesly

[muteninja]

Need Help With Visual Basic Program.
Does anyone know how to keep a visual basic program responsive to keyboard shortcuts while i use a different program such as Google chrome without using web browser on the visual basic form. I'm trying to hack a online flash game that requires you to log in before playing but switching back and forth between the game and clicking on my program is too bothersome i want to be able to use my program's shortcuts while playing the game.

Yes, I believe it's something like
If Form1.Focused = False Then
Timer1.Enabled = False 'or whatever your hotkeys are running on
Else
Timer1.Enabled = True
End If

Are you that stupid? Please come back when you learn VB.

Please don't post at all if you're not going to be helpful.

The program, while not focused, still gets cpu time (just like every other process), so it should stay responsive. The fact that it's coded in vb wouldn't have anything to do with responsiveness. Maybe you're causing an infinite loop on your main thread? (the code to GetKeyState() : that loop should be run from it's own thread -- you don't learn about threads until later).
