A keylogger or a system logger can be found easily. Search Google.

Here is a Good Example, it is done in MASM32, however it is easy to read and the concept can be ported to C++ if needed.

Whats different about this example ("The Entire Project source and compiled program is included in both Zip and Rar format there") is that it shows HOW to get information like you are requesting without the need to use a dll, this method shows how a stand-alone program can create Global Hooks and be able to get information such as window Title, Program name and much more:

You might look into a WH_SHELL hook for such notifications. Determining what you are after in a round-about fashion from a low-level keyboard hook is unnecessary.
