I've re-read that discussion before asking the question.  The only
pointers I found there were to a CodeProject page, which just said
that keyboard hooks were necessary, but didn't explain the issue any
further.  What I'm looking for is a more in-depth documentation,
preferably official Microsoft one.

Please tell where, I must have missed that somehow.
