I'm just getting out from those problems... DirectInput is not very compatible with the system input. :?
You could do it in 2 ways:
1. Capture messages in a normal VCL application, as suggested by Delfi, or
2. Make your own window processing loop in a formless application.
If you follow the first path, first learn about capturing and processing messages with a TForm:

If you follow the second path, read this tutorial about creating a formless app:
