I want to make a program that fires a event every time the user presses a key but i also want to if possible completely deny the keyboard input from happening. For example: "The user presses the "Y" key but it is blocked from triggering whatever the "Y" key does (In this case typing "y")"



Can anyone point me in the right direction and tell me if this is even possible? Thanks.

    C++ by itself doesn't deal with keyboards and keys. C++ can interface with your OS which may or may not have required APIs.
