keyboard-hook

I am trying to hook for example Notepad without sucess. Making a global hook seems to work fine. Testing on XP SP2. Edit: Amended code works now. MyDLL code #include <windows.h> #include <iostream> #include <stdio.h> HINSTANCE hinst; #pragma data_seg(".shared") HHOOK hhk; #pragma data_seg() //#pragma comment(linker, "/SECTION:.shared,RWS") compiler error in VC++ 2008 express LRESULT CALLBACK wireKeyboardProc(int code, WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam) { if (code < 0) { return CallNextHookEx(0, code, wParam, lParam); } Beep(1000, 20); return CallNextHookEx(hhk, code, wParam, lParam); } extern "C" _

I want to make a program in vb.NET 2008 which will listen keyboard in background, i.e. even though the application is minimized (globally). If a specific key is been pressed by user, it should keep firing 2 other keys at regular given time intervals until the user presses that specific key again. How can this be done in vb.NET 2008? Source : Here Usage: To create the hook Private WithEvents kbHook As New KeyboardHook Then each event can be handled: Private Sub kbHook_KeyDown(ByVal Key As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) Handles kbHook.KeyDown Debug.WriteLine(Key.ToString) End Sub Private Sub kbHook

I'm trying to create an OS X keyboard hook for assistive technology purposes (i.e. don't worry, not a keylogger). When a user presses a key, I want to prevent the real keypress and send a fake keypress (character of my choosing) instead. I have the following code: - (void) hookTheKeyboard { CGEventMask keyboardMask = CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventKeyDown); id eventHandler = [NSEvent addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask:keyboardMask handler:^(NSEvent *keyboardEvent) { NSLog(@"keyDown: %c", [[keyboardEvent characters] characterAtIndex:0]); //Want to: Stop the keyboard input //Want to: Send another key
