Q1 As we know that in a windows application whenever a key is pressed, a message is sent to the active window. We are developing a DOS based application and want to detect whenever a key is pressed from keyboard. How can we do so?

Q2
We are writing a DOS based application in which we have to display the system date and time. Write down the code for doing so.

hook mousewheel problem

I want to hook the WM_MOUSEWHEEL msg in globel and identify whether it is scroll in or scroll out by 'zDelta', but the 'zDelta'(below) always seem to be zero. Can any one help me.
Thanks!

extern "C" _declspec(dllexport) LRESULT WINAPI MouseProc(int nCode,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
   if(nCode < 0)
      return CallNextHookEx(g_hHook,nCode,wParam,lParam);
   
   if(nCode == HC_ACTION)
   {
      switch(wParam)
      {
         case WM_MOUSEWHEEL:
            short zDelta = (short)HIWORD(wParam);// The 'zDelta' always seem to be zero
            break;
         ...........
         default:
            return CallNextHookEx(g_hHook,nCode,wParam,lParam);
      }
   }
}

I'm not sure why zdelta would be zero all the time.

Is "extern "C" the same linkage as __stdcall?
The hook func needs to be __stdcall.

try
extern _declspec(dllexport) LRESULT CALLBACK WINAPI MouseProc(int nCode,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)

Thanks for reply, but still not Work.
i hooked other mouse msg like WM_LBUTTONDOWN are all fine.
Is that use the WH_MOUSE can not identify wheel scroll direction (need WH_MOUSE_LL?)

what i use now is:
g_hHook=SetWindowsHookEx(WH_MOUSE,MouseProc,g_hInstance,0);

Mark Salsbery14-Oct-06 15:01

I see it.

short zDelta = (short)HIWORD(wParam);

won't work. wParam is WM_MOUSEWHEEL, not the wheel delta Smile | :)

extern "C" _declspec(dllexport) LRESULT WINAPI MouseProc(int nCode,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam){   
   if(nCode < 0)      
      return CallNextHookEx(g_hHook,nCode,wParam,lParam);      
   if(nCode == HC_ACTION)   
   {      
      switch(wParam)      
      {         
         case WM_MOUSEWHEEL:            
            short zDelta = (short)HIWORD(wParam);// The 'zDelta' always seem to be zero
            break;
         default:            
            return CallNextHookEx(g_hHook,nCode,wParam,lParam);      
      }   
   }
   return CallNextHookEx(g_hHook,nCode,wParam,lParam);
}

I can't find how to get the wheel delta in a hook proc LOL I'll let you know when/if I do!

How to catch keyboard event before the operation system ?

Got it!
Thanks a lot Mark! Smile | :)

Use the code like this:
case WM_MOUSEWHEEL:
{
typedef struct
{
MOUSEHOOKSTRUCT MOUSEHOOKSTRUCT;
DWORD mouseData;
}MOUSEHOOKSTRUCTEX,*PMOUSEHOOKSTRUCTEX;

MOUSEHOOKSTRUCTEX *MHSEX;
MHSEX=(MOUSEHOOKSTRUCTEX*)lParam;

if(MHSEX->mouseData==(WHEEL_DELTA<<16))
AfxMessageBox("up");
if(MHSEX->mouseData==(-WHEEL_DELTA<<16))
AfxMessageBox("down");
}
break;

Re: How to catch keyboard event before the operation system ?

14-Oct-06 5:21

I need to catch every keyboard event before operation system ( windows xp ) does.

What i mean is in case user click on key 'enter' ( or every other key ) my application need to check if the key is 'X' key - and in any case this key event need to continue as key event to the operation system.

I'm sure there is some win32 API function to do it - but i don't remember it.

Someone can help me ?

Thanks.

Do you see a contradiction between those 2 sentences??

Sorry ... but i don't see any contradiction.

I need some way to catch keyboard event - something like keyboard logger.

I did not found something useful in Google until now.

Thanks for any help.

Looks like you have forgot to include a header file in your project. Search the header files for the definition of HCRYPTPROV, than add the #include statement to the top of your md5capi.cpp file.
