Other than for app launch shortcuts, which should only be provided by the O/S, what are the legitimate uses of things like Windows keyboard hooks? It seems to me that we only have problems with things like key loggers because operating systems provide hooks to do things that should not be permitted by anyone under any condition except t...
In short: I want to monitor selected calls from an application to a DLL. We have an old VB6 application for which we lost the source code (the company wasn't using source control back then..). This application uses a 3rd party DLL. I want to use this DLL in a new C++ application. Unfortunately the DLL API is only partially documented, ...
I am working in a project where there are configuration files, one in number for each of the environments where the application would be deployed.

Here's a scenario. You have a large amount of legacy scripts, all using a common library. Said scripts use the 'print' statement for diagnostic output. No changes are allowed to the scripts - they range far and wide, have their approvals, and have long since left the fruitful valleys of oversight and control. Now a new need has arriv...
Hello, I am working on a c++ win32 program that involves a keyboard hook. The application is a win32 project with no user interface whatsoever. I need to keep the application from closing without using causing the hook to not work or use up a bunch of system resources. I used to use a message box but I need the application to be complete...

For example, I would like to replace the "EDIT" class so that my own custom edit box is used whenever any Windows program calls CreateWindowEx with "EDIT" as the class name argument. How can I achieve this? Will a message hook help? I believe a message hook woul...

I recently heard the term "hook" while talking to some people about a program I was writing. I'm unsure exactly what this term implies although I inferred from the conversation that a hook is a type of function. I searched for a definition but was unable to find a good answer. Would someone be able to give me an idea of what this term...

I'm having an interesting problem implementing a global keyboard hook. I wrote a dll which is used to set the hook and then an application (Delphi) which loads the dll and processes the results of the hook. This was done this afternoon on my PC at work and after some testing I figured it was working 100%. I've just tested the same app...
Sometimes when I work on Thinkpads/MSI laptops, the Ctrl and Fn key are swapped (Fn being the leftmost key), and it drives me nuts - I keep hitting Fn instead of Ctrl. I was wondering if it's at all possible to intercept the Fn key. I'd like to write a hook that swaps the Ctrl/Fn keys, but it seems that Fn is not being processed by the ...
