Raw Input Global Hooks

Hello,

I am trying to read rawinput as I have to distinguish between two
devices (mice),
I have found several examples and I am able to detect Raw Input in the
local window,
but cannot intecept raw input messages in other windows, so I cannot
track the mouse
as soon as another window catches the mouse focus.
I have tried Global Hooks approach and my C# code does compile, but
does not work..
What kind of message does Raw Input send?
What kind of hooks should I use?
a System Hook?

I can provide the code if needed. Current approach mixes the code in

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/system...lobalHooks.asp
(Global Hooks Library)

and http://www.jstookey.com/arcade/rawmouse/ (rawMouse for C#)

Thanks in advance.

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.

Hi! I have a problem with global hooks under these two OS. I'm using three following types of hooks: CBT Hokk, Keyboard Hook, Mouse Hooks.

I am setting up Authentication that I want to put in multiple Web Sites on my server. I found a good article on this and am looking at moving my code from my Global.asax file to an HTTP Module. This works fine. But I was curious about what would happen if I left the Global.asax code in (which is identical to the HTTPModule code) as well as added the HTTPModule. Both call the same event and both sets of code is executed.

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...

Hi, I am having trouble developing a form in a restricted environment. My sample code is found below my message (sorry I don't have a URL). Basically, without a doctype, the form displays properly with 3px padding around each form field, and no overlap. But the doctype changes the box model, I am told, and so the padding is added to the 100% width, leading to overlap and poor presentation. Unfortunately, I'm forced to use the doctype due to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
