Detect windows key pressed with hotekey

How can I detect LWin and RWin keys with hot key?

Right now I'm using the example code given here but it only detect the win key if its used as a modifier. I want to know how to detect the win key. Something like this:

private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.LWin || e.KeyCode == Keys.RWin) WriteLine("Windows key pressed"); }

But with the ability of detecting it if the form is not focused.

I found my answer in this question: C# : Keyboard Hook

Processing Global Mouse and Keyboard Hooks in C#.

I found that article quite useful.
