need a function listing and operation list of all (or some) the functions in the hook dynamic library. I went to google and I cant find any decent articles or information about it. I cant really explain the library since I myself dont know EXACTLY what it does, but I have a pretty good idea. Aparently, it creates a system wide shell of a program or operation. Like the keyboard or something. Its usually used for keyloggers or mouse recording I guess... I was wondering if anyone was familar with this library and was willing to tell me what kind of functions I can call from it and what they do..

Thanks alot

This is a .dll that uses a number of shell functions (including some undocumented ones) to hook and log a variety of shell messages (e.g., window creation, window activation, window deactivation).

all i can find sorry. hope it helps in sum way

I dont have MSDN, would someone with it see if its in there? thx. I am going to go search on the online version.

The online version doesnt have anything useful in it. Just stuff about the misc API functions needed :(

If you have visual studio, you can use the depends tool to list all the functions that are exported in the dll. If you dont have visual studio and if you know some of the function names already, you can find the others by opening the dll in a hex editor and searching for the function names you know. All the function names are in one place, so its easy to find the others once you find the ones you know.

Hey, thats cool. I never knew about that Depen viewer!

THe dll is apparently a shell for a group of dlls containing the functions I need to call :P So I guess I will have to find more information about what is required. Thanks for the tip!

Hey that's cool unit! I knew of the depends tool, but I never knew it could do that! Very interesting indeed ... Now I can right an abstraction to the theme related functions on winxp into my control library.
