Re: System-wide hooking, VB+ASM

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

If you find being told to use some initiative rude, then so be it. As to
your concrete question, you have been given URLs and API names. The answer
to your question is trivially obvious from the documentation on the
SetWindowsHookEx API. I am prepared to give pointers to solve a problem, but
you have to RTFM for yourself.

And telling somebody to read the documentation is not rude, rather it is
posting questions without reading the documentation that is rude -
especially after you've been told EXACTLY what to read.
