System Hook

[Patrick]

I have been developing in VB6 for years. I am converting to VB.net. I was wondering if it is possible to create a System hook in VB.net. I know that I VB6, I could not, so I created one in C++. If it is possible, could you please provide an example. Thanks!

Also, could you please provide good resources (books or online articles/tutorials) that would be good for someone who is advanced VB6 programmer converting to VB.net. Thanks!

I assuming your talking about Global Hooks? Any particular kind? I've had
this discussion with a couple people never found an answer I was 100%
satisfied with.

From my undersatnd, generally no, because you can't inject the DLL into
other processes.

But for keyboard hooks you can. At least the way I undersatnd it you can.
However, I was told you can't do it with a mouse... here's and article that
may help.

Programming Microsoft Visual Basic.NET Core Reference by Francesco Balena is
a really good book from my point of view, coveres everything from simple
stuff to way more advanced topics
