问题
I'm working on something which will require monitoring of many forms. From outside the form, and without putting any code inside the form, I need to somehow capture events from these forms, most likely in the form of windows messages. But how would you capture windows messages from outside the class it's related to?
My project has an object which wraps each form it is monitoring, and I presume this handling will go in this object. Essentially, when I create a form I want to monitor, I create a corresponding object which in turn gets added to a list of all created forms. Most importantly, when that form is closed, I have to know so I can remove this form's wrapper object from the list.
These events include:
- Minimize
- Maximize
- Restore
- Close
- Focus in/out
What I DON'T want:
- Any code inside any forms or form units for this handling
- Inheriting the forms from any custom base form
- Using the form's events such as
OnClosebecause they will be used for other purposes
What I DO want:
- Handling of windows messages for these events
- Any tips on how to get windows messages from outside the class
- Which windows messages I need to listen for

Here's a more complete example of the solution that David Provided:
private
{ Private declarations }
SaveProc : TWndMethod;
procedure CommonWindowProc(var Message: TMessage);
...
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
f : tForm2;
begin
f := tForm2.Create(nil);
SaveProc := f.WindowProc;
f.WindowProc := CommonWindowProc;
f.Show;
end;
procedure TForm1.CommonWindowProc(var Message: TMessage);
begin
case Message.Msg of
WM_SIZE : Memo1.Lines.Add('Resizing');
WM_CLOSE : Memo1.Lines.Add('Closing');
CM_MOUSEENTER : Memo1.Lines.Add('Mouse enter form');
CM_MOUSELEAVE : Memo1.Lines.Add('Mouse leaving form');
// all other messages will be available as needed
end;
SaveProc(Message); // Call the original handler for the other form
end;

You need to listen for particular windows messages being delivered to the form. The easiest way to do this is to assign the WindowProc property of the form. Remember to keep a hold of the previous value of WindowProc and call it from your replacement.
In your wrapper object declare a field like this:
FOriginalWindowProc: TWndMethod;
Then in the wrapper's constructor do this:
FOriginalWindowProc := Form.WindowProc;
Form.WindowProc := NewWindowProc;
Finally, implement the replacement window procedure:
procedure TFormWrapper.NewWindowProc(var Message: TMessage);
begin
//test for and respond to the messages of interest
FOriginalWindowProc(Message);
end;

A better solution than trying to work outside of the form would be to make every form descend from a common base form that implements the functionality. The form event handlers are exactly the right place to add this code but you'd write it all in the ancestor form. Any descendant form could still use the form events and as long as they always call inherited somewhere in the event handler the ancestor code would still execute.

Another option is create TApplicationEvents and assign a handler to OnMessage event. Once if it fired, use the FindControl function and Msg.hWnd to check if it is the tform type and do what ever you want without hookin

Using Windows Messages can really attain a fine granularity (Yes, its part of your requirements!) but in some user cases where relying just on the VCL Event Framework suffices, a similar solution can be suggested:
unit Host;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs, StdCtrls;
type
THostForm = class(TForm)
Memo1: TMemo;
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
FFormResize: TNotifyEvent;
FFormActivate: TNotifyEvent;
FFormDeactivate: TNotifyEvent;
FFormDestroy: TNotifyEvent;
procedure _FormResize(Sender: TObject);
procedure _FormActivate(Sender: TObject);
procedure _FormDeactivate(Sender: TObject);
procedure InternalEventHandlerInit(const AForm:TForm);
public
procedure Log(const Msg:string);
procedure Logln(const Msg:string);
end;
var
HostForm: THostForm;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure THostForm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
frm: TForm;
begin
frm := TForm.Create(nil);
frm.Name := 'EmbeddedForm';
frm.Caption := 'Embedded Form';
//
InternalEventHandlerInit(frm);
//
Logln('<'+frm.Caption+'> created.');
//
frm.Show;
end;
procedure THostForm.InternalEventHandlerInit(const AForm: TForm);
begin
FFormResize := AForm.OnResize;
AForm.OnResize := _FormResize;
//
FFormActivate := AForm.OnActivate;
AForm.OnActivate := _FormActivate;
//
FFormDeactivate := AForm.OnDeactivate;
AForm.OnDeactivate := _FormDeactivate;
end;
procedure THostForm.Log(const Msg: string);
begin
Memo1.Lines.Add(Msg);
end;
procedure THostForm.Logln(const Msg: string);
begin
Memo1.Lines.Add(Msg);
Memo1.Lines.Add('');
end;
procedure THostForm._FormActivate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Log('Before OnActivate <'+(Sender as TCustomForm).Caption+'>');
//
if Assigned(FFormActivate) then
FFormActivate(Sender) // <<<
else
Log('No OnActivate Event Handler attached in <'+(Sender as TCustomForm).Caption+'>');
//
Logln('After OnActivate <'+(Sender as TCustomForm).Caption+'>');
end;
procedure THostForm._FormDeactivate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Log('Before OnDeactivate <'+(Sender as TCustomForm).Caption+'>');
//
if Assigned(FFormDeactivate) then
FFormDeactivate(Sender)
else
Log('No OnDeActivate Event Handler attached in <'+(Sender as TCustomForm).Caption+'>');
//
Logln('After OnDeactivate <'+(Sender as TCustomForm).Caption+'>');
end;
procedure THostForm._FormResize(Sender: TObject);
begin
Log('Before OnResize <'+(Sender as TCustomForm).Caption+'>');
//
if Assigned(FFormResize) then
FFormResize(Sender)
else
Log('No OnResize Event Handler attached in <'+(Sender as TCustomForm).Caption+'>');
//
Logln('After OnResize <'+(Sender as TCustomForm).Caption+'>');
end;
end.
