Intercept keyboard key presses
I want to hear the beep without seeing 'B' as output on Notepad. How can I implement this?
if (GetAsyncKeyState('B') & 0x8000)
{
Beep( 500, 500 );
}
c++ winapi

You could trigger a backspace, sort of a hack not sure if that would work. If that works for you, try this: stackoverflow.com/questions/5607849/…

I don't think SendInput and keybd_event would my solve question. My goal is to detect key press and not see output on any text document app while hearing a beep

@dav: How would this pan out in case the'B'
is pressed as part of a keyboard shortcut? No, I'm afraid, this is not a solution or even part of a solution. Installing a low-level keyboard hook is a better option.

Use a keyboard hook via SetWindowsHookEx()
. When your hook callback detects the desired key stroke, you can block the key stroke so it is not passed on to subsequent hooks or the target application.
