Hi Please help because I'm really stuck: I'm trying to write an application in C# which can be used to track the mouse pointer position on any window. I'm trying to use a Global mouse hook to do this but with limited success. According to the documentation (as I understand it) you can only do Global hooks in ..Net if the delegate procedure passed to SetWindowsHookEx is external.

No, I'm not a troll, just angry. I just started learning C++, and find it extremely lacking compared to Java. For example, I had to write my own functions to do something as simple as a case insensitive string comparison, and a substring search. Then I found that there are no networking classes to speak of (except sockets). After I thought about it, C++ really pales by comparison. Java has a rich set of networking classes, regular...

I just read couple articles on this group and it keeps amazing me how the portability is used as strong argument for language cleanliness. In my opinion, porting the program (so you just take the source code and recompile) is a myth started 20-30 years ago when world consisted of UNIX systems. Well, world does not consist of UNIX systems anymore, but there are 100s of different systems running in cell-phones, DVD players, game consoles...

I created a CAB file for a 3rd party control (StockChartX) it using CABARC.exe that comes from Microsoft SDK. In the CAB file I included the StockChartX.ocx and StockChartX.INF.

I am trying to modify another application's window (Google Talk) to insert some UI of my own. I think the best method would be to install a remote local hook in gtalk's thread that intercepts the paint message and injects the custom UI. From the reading I've done, it is possible to install a system hook with an unmanaged stub that passes execution off to a managed C# delegate (http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/GlobalSystemHook.asp), but...
