I've been trying to set up a CBT hook for my C++ Console application with the following code:
...includes...
typedef struct _HOOKDATA
{
int type;
HOOKPROC hookproc;
HHOOK hhook;
}_HOOKDATA;
_HOOKDATA hookdata;
//CBT
LRESULT CALLBACK CBTProc(int code, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
//do not proccess message
if(code < 0)
{
cout<<"code less than 0"<<endl;
return CallNextHookEx(hookdata.hhook,code,wParam,lParam);
}
switch(code)
{
case HCBT_ACTIVATE:
break;
case HCBT_CREATEWND:
cout<<"CREATEWND"<<endl;
break;
case HCBT_MINMAX:
cout<<"MINMAX"<<endl;
break;
default: //unknown
cout<<"DEFAULT"<<endl;
break;
}
return CallNextHookEx(hookdata.hhook, code, wParam, lParam);
}
int main()
{
hookdata.type = WH_CBT;
hookdata.hookproc = CBTProc;
hookdata.hhook = ::SetWindowsHookEx(hookdata.type, CBTProc,
GetModuleHandle( 0 ), GetCurrentThreadId());
if(hookdata.hhook == NULL)
{
cout<<"FAIL"<<endl;
system("pause");
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}
The program seems to be working because there is not compile errors nor run time errors. Also I do not get a 'FAIL' message stated in the main() function meaning SetWindowHookEx is working OK. However, I don't get any of the messages stated in the CBTProc function; not even the 'DEFAULT' message. Can anyone pin-point what is the logic error in the code?
Thanks.
