Hey, moeur!! I am not a n00b.. lol.. have n't u still understood? I was just pointing out how Visual Basic is reacting differently... When u have a missing reference ( i know that u forgot to remove it while attaching your project ), why should VB complain on the line: strData = Space(dataStruct.cbData, 0)

Oops, i dint put the above line in my previous post.. i was incomplete.. sorry!

Space function accepts only one parameter which is the length of spaces you need. And so VB is supposed to error: Wrong number of arguments. But i was just playing around how VB reacts when u have a missing reference.. hmm, think i should not play around, just misleads to many stuff..

Also, moeur, when u run your EXE press Ctrl+F5 with codes implementing Subclassing.. which makes sure u dont have any compiler error!

And i dont understand your old quote:

In fact, if you change it to byref then the hook procedure returns an error because you have an invalid handle
Nopez, cant you see that any LPVOID is nothing but a pointer which is obviously pointer... You have just given your DLL code having the DllMain as:
VB Code:
  1. Public Function DLLMain([hl]hInst As Long[/hl], ByVal fdwReason As Long, _

  2.   lpvReserved As Long) As Long
which is ByRef.. What are you trying to tell?? You seem to contradict your own code

Anyway, i will be back with the working code of your Notepad Hook.
