Hi I want to create an iPhone app where i press an A key, and a computer connected to the local network over wifi would respond as if the A key was pressed on its own keyboard. Would i need to write a Bonjour service on the machine to detect and handle the key presses, hooking into the keyboard? Are there any starting points? Thanks....
Hello, I need to detect if text input was processed by keyboard or some auto writer tool (app which simulates keyboard by using keyboard hooks). Do you have any ideas or is it impossible? Thanx ...
I've created a GLOBAL keyboard hook DLL, using source code found on the internet. For the best part it works brilliant, except when it comes to browsers. It picks up every key in the browser except, it seems, when the browser gets focus, it looses the first key that is pressed. Tested this in IE and Firefox and it seems to be the same f...
Greetings, I've implemented a low-level keyboard hook as described here. This works fine under WinXP. Problem is, under Windows 7 the left and right windows keys are no longer intercepted. Any suggestions as to how to recapture these keys under Windows 7 greatly appreciated! Cheers, Rony ...
am trying to understand windows hooks by writing a few keyboard hooks. i have a function, bool WriteToFile(WPARAM keyCode, char * fileName) { ofstream fout("filename"); if(fout.is_open()) { if(keyCode>=0x030 && keyCode<0x039) fout<< (keyCode - 0x030); fout.close(); return true; } ...
I'm creating a program for my personal use that must react to some hotkeys. For example, when I press ctrl+win+z it must perform a certain action. At present, I can use GetKeyState() from user32.dll to detect the keypresses, however I am unable to stop them being passed to the active application. In the case of ctrl+win+z, the action I w...
Hi everyone, My VB6 project requires keyboard short-cuts for toolbar control in its MDI Form. For this, I used vbAccelerator Keyboard Hook with vbalHook6.dll found at vbAccelerator Hooks (thanks to Alex K for this suggestion), I'm getting Runtime Error '429', i.e. ActiveX Object Can't be created. I've referenced the required DLL with th...
I've already saw many tutorials and articles about hooking, yet I don't quite understand it. Mainly because every single example uses different solution. I know I will have to implement something that will keep the hook alive. Usually it's some kind of while cycle. Q1: If this loop was in some class with callbacks, will it prevent the t...
Hello everyone, I'm working on VB6 project where I need to have keyboard short-cuts for Buttons on Toolbar Control. To accomplish this, I have used Win32 Hooks library from vbAccelerator. Here's my IWindowsHook_HookProc function, that I use to retrieve Key strokes & perform action based on pressed short-cut (Ctrl+N for New, Ctrl+O for O...
I have written a program (Mimer 1.1 -- http://sourceforge.net/projects/mimer/files/) and after 3000 downloads I found out that my own Nod32 Antivirus detects my program as a Win32/Agent.NFIWJLP trojan. My program has a c++ sub program that makes a system hook to watch the keyboard and mouse movements and events in the system (similar to ...
I'm creating a program that installs a keyboard hook to capture all keys and display some text related to them. However, I've hit upon a snag, and that is some keys change behavior when the hook is installed. I'll see about posting a small, but complete, test program, but for now I'll just describe the problem. The problem exhibits it...
How to load (and use) DLL-function SetWindowsHookEx in Delphi Prism? Where to find the definition or the value of WH_KEYBOARD_LL? And how may I write LRESULT WINAPI KeyboardProc(int, WPARAM, LPARAM); in Delphi Prism? ...
I'm trying to set a low level windows keyboard hook to grab three keys pressed even if the application is not in focus. To do this I'm calling SetWindowsHookEx as // Create an instance of HookProc. KeyboardHookProcedure = new HookProc(KeyboardHookProc); //install hook hKeyboardHook = SetWindowsHookEx( WH_KEYBOARD_LL, KeyboardHoo...
Hi, I have an application with both .NET and Delphi components I register to a keyboard hook (with SetWindowsHookEx) in both components. I first register in .NET, and later in Delphi. The problem is, the hook delegate in Delphi is called before the hook delegate in .NET. According to MSDN, the hook chain is just a list, and as I under...
Hello, My global keyboard hook (kh.dll) works fine on Win7 to get keystroke of programs running as administrator privilege. However for other programs running as standard user the hook fails with an error window prompt. If I start the host program (kh.exe host the hk.dll) as standard user I can't set the global hook. How can I get keyst...

I've implemented keyboard hooks in several languages (AutoIt, C#) using SetWindowsHookEx and WH_KEYBOARD_LL. I also know of a couple of C++ programs that have the same issue. I didn't post any code because they work perfectly in Windows XP. However, under Windows 7, at some point the hooks become "unloaded" or stop processing any furt...
I'm working on a small C++ project which involves a launcher application that does a bit of setup work and then invokes the real application. To be precise, I'm working on the launcher application - the real application is done by a separate team. These programs are both deployed to Windows Mobile devices. Now, I'd like to be able to get...
