Simple Hook


Description:
This is a small DLL (4K), that allows Visual Basic applications to implement a system wide keyboard and/or mouse hook.

The zip file contains the DLL, as well as a simple program that demonstrates its use by implementing an idle timer.

6/16/2000: Also, check out the SysHook control under Useful Files/Controls. It provides an easy to use mechanism for hooking the keyboard and mouse.

10/3/2005: This has been removed since other developers insisted on using it for evil purposes.
