Can I able to create a keyboard logger in either c or c++. While i am trying I can able to capture the keyboard interrupt and i can able to make that interrupt to call my user define function. Bow any body can let me know how to capture the keystroke.

This is very much platform-dependent, so the way of doing it depends on if you're using Windows, or Linux, or some other Unix, or the Dynamo HotDogSlicerOS.

In Windows, I believe it's possible to get Windows to tell your program whenever an event occurs, for instance a key being pressed. Look up "hook" somewhere.

Hopefully someone who's actually done it before can provide some details.
