hi all, :)
I have heard that you must use an dll for the windows keyboard hook apis to work in Win2000/XP in a global state, is that correct? If so then why? :confused:
Is there any other way to "hide" or prevent applications from recieving keystroke messages? If so then how? :confused:
Does hotkey apis prevent messages and must they always use combined keys like ctrl+..., alt+... or shift+...? :confused:
I thank you for any reply :)
Can't you hook the keyboard, and don't call CallNextHookEx() for the keys you want to stop?
Just a suggestion, I've never tried it..
You need a dll because the hook function you create needs to be added to every process that you are hooking....having the code just in your program isnt good enoughQuote:

If you create the hook, you can use it to filter messages, but I wont tell you how because it can be misused.Quote:

Does this also apply to Windows XP and NT? And what about Windows 95, 98 and ME, do they need dll declaration too?Quote:

Applies to ALL Win32 Platforms......even 95 :)Quote:

If you only want hotkeys, use
RegisterHotKey()
But does HotKeys prevent key messages to other applications and must they always use combined keys like ctrl+..., alt+... or shift+...?
