    Windows events

    Hi all,

    I am writing a generic publish/subscribe event system for my application. I want to hook into Windows events system so that I can send it my msgs and let it handle the queuing and broadcasting of my msgs. I realize I can do this myself however I prefer to let Windows handle it as it improves performance and is more efficient, IMHO.

    My question is as follows: How do I hook into Win events and are there any tutorials that I can take a look at? I've googled it and nothing useful came up. Thanks in advance.

    Happy Holidays,
    M

    You can use the API function SetWindowsHookEx(). Try searching for this on google and you'll probably find some tutorials.
