No you are wrong... :(
I Tested it and HInstance returns the same exact handle as
the LoadLibrary call returns from within the main program...
Apart from that the HInstance within the main app is COMPLETELY
different from that one and the one that LoadLibrary returns
obviously... I will test it anyway the GetModuleHandle() method
anyway just in case... :(

I was rather hasty in my previous post... The code works GREAT
but only if you are interested in catching keyboard strokes within
your application only, which is APPARENTLY UNACCEPTABLE in my case...
