Hi, @Raman Singh

You could use hook.

      <ToggleSwitch x:Name="MyToggleSwitch" Header="Toggle Switch Example"  Toggled="ToggleSwitch_Toggled"/>
      <TextBox x:Name="MyTextBox" Header="Enter text here:" PlaceholderText="Type something" Width="300"  />

header file

#pragma once

#include <windows.h>
#include "MainWindow.g.h"
#pragma comment( lib, "user32.lib" )

static HHOOK g_keyboardHook =nullptr;
LRESULT CALLBACK KeyboardHookProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
namespace winrt::App1::implementation
{
  
    struct MainWindow : MainWindowT<MainWindow>
    {
     
     
        MainWindow()
        {
           
         
           
        };
        ~MainWindow()
        {
           
            if (g_keyboardHook != nullptr)
            {
                UnhookWindowsHookEx(g_keyboardHook);
                g_keyboardHook = nullptr;
            }
        };
        int32_t MyProperty();
        void MyProperty(int32_t value);
        void myButton_Click(IInspectable const& sender, Microsoft::UI::Xaml::RoutedEventArgs const& args);
        void ToggleSwitch_Toggled(IInspectable const& sender, Microsoft::UI::Xaml::RoutedEventArgs const& args)
        {
            if (MyToggleSwitch().IsOn())
            {
                g_keyboardHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD_LL, KeyboardHookProc, nullptr, 0);
            }
            else
            {
                if (g_keyboardHook != nullptr)
                {
                    UnhookWindowsHookEx(g_keyboardHook);
                    g_keyboardHook = nullptr;
                }
            }
        }
    
    };
}
namespace winrt::App1::factory_implementation
{
    struct MainWindow : MainWindowT<MainWindow, implementation::MainWindow>
    {
    };
}

cpp:

......
LRESULT CALLBACK KeyboardHookProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    if (nCode >= 0)
    {
        if (wParam == WM_KEYDOWN || wParam == WM_SYSKEYDOWN)
        {
            return 1;
        }
    }
    return CallNextHookEx(g_keyboardHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
}
