I'm trying to hook a 3rd party app so that I can draw to its screen. Drawing to the screen is easy and I need no help with it, but I seem to be having issues with using SetWindowsHookEx to handle WH_GETMESSAGE. I can't figure out what to pass for the last 2 parameters.

using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowDrawer
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private delegate int HookProc(int code, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
static IntPtr hHook;
IntPtr windowHandle;
uint processHandle;
HookProc PaintHookProcedure;
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "FindWindow", SetLastError = true)]

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern int CallNextHookEx(IntPtr hhk, int nCode, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
// When you don't want the ProcessId, use this overload and pass IntPtr.Zero for the second parameter
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern uint GetWindowThreadProcessId(IntPtr hWnd, out uint lpdwProcessId);

{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PaintHookProcedure = new HookProc(PaintHookProc);
windowHandle = FindWindowByCaption(0, "Untitled - Notepad");
uint threadID = GetWindowThreadProcessId(windowHandle, out processHandle);
IntPtr hMod = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(typeof(Form1).Module);
// HERE IS THE PROBLEM. WHAT THE HECK DO I PASS INTO THE LAST 2 PARAMS? I get a null pointer
hHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_GETMESSAGE, PaintHookProcedure, hMod, threadID);
}
public int PaintHookProc(int nCode, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)
{
// Do some painting here.
return CallNextHookEx(hHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
}
private const int WM_PAINT = 15;
private const int WH_GETMESSAGE = 3;
}
}
