[Qt-interest] systemwide key and mouse button press events

[Lars Friedrich Lars]

that's true, but I found some (weird) blogs and discussions concerning GetAsyncKeyState()-usage on Vista - obviously, in some cases, it did not work for some people. 
however, the original question was whether it is possible to achieve some comparable behavior in Qt. both missing positive replies to my question and internet search let me believe that there is in fact no clear strategy in Qt for doing that ... which is quite depressing.
