Are you really sure you want to grab all the keystrokes? That sounds like a really bad idea unless you need to grab the keyboard...

If you're just trying to get keyboard input for a window (any window, child or no), just use XSelectInput with the appropriate mask.

thanks javasnob,

but you dont understand my question,

i have to grab keys, that is for sure
there is nothing related to XSelectinput,
lEventmask = KeyPressMask|
XSelectInput(gp_display,root_win_app,lEventmask);

i send proper keystrokes to every window except the Browser window, i dont know why
but i think there is something related to Child Window problem.

thanks for taking interest
if you know please help me

iam a final year student of B.E , we are doing our project , In this we replace all keys of English keyboard to our local language , for this I hack all the keys using XGrabKey()
then i select the events through XSelectInput() and i.e KeyPressMask, then I Grab the rootwindow and give my processed Key events to that window that is having current focus.
For appliying my local fonts on that place , iam able to type in my local language.

my project is working fine , the only problem is that i can't able yo send my keyevents to any browser window.

if you know what is the reason behind this, please reply me

Are you required to use XGrabKeys? I'm sure there are way simplier ways to do what you want...
