Monitoring Hooks

[Andy_Hollywood]

Project
The program above should, by my understanding should monitor the hooks it installs, and output their content to a text file.

It seems to work for some of the hooks, but no the keyboard hook, it updates in the window when you set the focus in another app, like word or excel, but dosent seem to update the text file.

Could someonce have a look, and maybe shed some light on whats wrong,

cheers in advance

Do you know about setting a system wide hook (one for all existing threads)? I believe this is the only way to actually get all of the keyboard messages.

A system-wide hook has to reside in a separate dll for it to work.

I cannot download your project - DoFileDownload thinks it's 760K
but it has taken 45 minutes on a T1 that usually goes at 75KB/sec - and zip can't open it. Go figure.

Well the hooks are all installed from a dll that i created, and as i said they seem to work, when you watch them, just not when the window is hidden!

I'll have a look at the .zip
