问题
First of all sorry 'cause maybe this could be a too localized question for C# but anyways I didn't find info about this for VB.NET and I don't understand in a good level C# code.
Basically I need to capture/process some mouse messages out of the application.
How I could do it?
This is just a code example of what I need to reproduce but outside the application:
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)
Select Case m.Msg
Case &H200 ' WM_MOUSEMOVE
MsgBox("Mouse Move")
Case &H201 ' WM_LBUTTONDOWN
MsgBox("Left Button Down")
Case &H202 ' WM_LBUTTONUP
MsgBox("Left Button Up")
Case Else
MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Select
End Sub
The main idea is to press a button that will hide the application to let the user selects a region over the screen and there is where I need to capture those windows messages to know when I need to start/end the region selection.

There are two ways to do this.
Using global hooks (Google it) I do not recommend.
Making ur winform transparent.
U need set transparent color of ur winform as the background control color. To make the form unfocusable u need add this code to ur message handler
if (m.Msg == WM_MOUSEACTIVATE)
{
m.Result = new IntPtr(MA_NOACTIVATE);
return;
}
if u want to receive left-click message just add this code before MouseActivate massage.
if (m.Msg == WM_LBUTTONDOWN)
{
}
Complete Example
namespace
{
public partial class XXXXXForm : Form
{
private const int WM_MOUSEACTIVATE = 0x21;
private const int WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x0201;
private const int MK_LBUTTON = 0x0001;
private const int MA_NOACTIVATE = 3;
public ClockForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DoubleBuffered = true;
this.TopMost = true;
this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
this.ShowIcon = false;
this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
this.TransparencyKey = this.BackColor;
}
[DllImport("User32.dll", EntryPoint = "SendMessage")]
private extern static int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int Msg, int wParam, int lParam);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ReleaseCapture();
private const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x112;
private const int SC_MOVE = 0xF010;
private const int HTCAPTION = 0x0002;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == WM_LBUTTONDOWN)
{
...
}
else if (m.Msg == WM_MOUSEACTIVATE)
{
m.Result = new IntPtr(MA_NOACTIVATE);
return;
}
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
protected override bool ShowWithoutActivation
{
get
{
return false;
}
}
private void Form_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
}
}
}

Firstly, im not quite sure of your question, since you ask how to receive windows messages to capture an area. But from what i understand here, you dont even need windows messages to capture an area on the screen.
This is a small example, its a bit buggy but check it out.
[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr GetDC(IntPtr hwnd);
[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern void ReleaseDC(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr dc);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool InvalidateRect(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr lpRect, bool bErase);
Rectangle rect;
bool drawmode = false;
Point startLoc;
Point CurrentLoc;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!drawmode)
{
WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
Opacity = 0.01;
drawmode = true;
}
}
private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
{
CurrentLoc = Cursor.Position;
IntPtr desktopPtr = GetDC(IntPtr.Zero);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromHdc(desktopPtr);
InvalidateRect(IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero, true);
rect = new Rectangle(startLoc.X, startLoc.Y, CurrentLoc.X - startLoc.X, CurrentLoc.Y - startLoc.Y);
g.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red, rect);
g.Dispose();
ReleaseDC(IntPtr.Zero, desktopPtr);
}
else
{
startLoc = Cursor.Position;
}
}
private void Form1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (drawmode)
{
WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
Opacity = 1;
drawmode = false;
// do somthing with rect after selection
}
}
I dont think this is what you are looking for, but im sure this could help someone down the line.
