Detecting Keyboard and Mouse Input
The main ingredient is the Win32 function
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)] private static extern IntPtr SetWindowsHookEx( int idHook, LowLevelInputProc lpfn, IntPtr hMod, uint dwThreadId);
This function is used to hook into many Windows events. The first parameter is the type of hook you would like to "hook" into. The term hook is used basically to describe subscribing to a Windows event.
The second parameter Lpfn is the callback delegate Windows should invoke when an event occurs. The third is your application's module handle, and finally the last is the thread id in your application Windows should use to invoke the callback.
To set the hook, is reasonably straight forward. I've written a wrapper method to simplify the invocation of the Win32 call:
private static IntPtr SetHook(LowLevelInputProc proc, int hookTypeConstant) { using (Process curProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess()) { using (ProcessModule curModule = curProcess.MainModule) { if (curModule == null) { return IntPtr.Zero; } return SetWindowsHookEx( hookTypeConstant, proc, GetModuleHandle(curModule.ModuleName), 0); } } }The two hook types I am interested in are Keyboard keypress events (int WH_KEYBOARD_LL = 13) and Mouse keypress events (int WH_MOUSE_LL = 14). The callback has the signature:
private delegate IntPtr LowLevelInputProc(int nCode, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);The three parameters are then used to give you information about the event and vary between different hook types.
My end goal is to be able to wrap these two hooks into a reusable class. The idea is to make a static class that has standard .NET events that are easier to subscribe to and deal with.
