Remy,

Well the dll is loaded from a small test program I have. The Test program
calls the setup of the message hook in the following way.

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{

                      if( !SetupFullWindowsMsgFilterHook() )
                      {
                           ShowMessage( "Failed set Windows Message Hook" )
;
                      }

}

The code inside the Dll is defined as follows:

extern "C" {

  __declspec(dllexport) bool  __stdcall  SetupFullWindowsMsgFilterHook( HWND
MessageMapWindow )            ;

}
HINSTANCE hInst
;

HWND         hWindowForMessages
;
HHOOK     hMsgFilterHook                                                   ;

int WINAPI DllEntryPoint( HINSTANCE hinst, unsigned long reason, void* )
{
    hInst                              =    hinst
;
   return 1 ;
}

bool  __stdcall  SetupFullWindowsMsgFilterHook( HWND MessageMapWindow )
{
             hMsgFilterHook =   SetWindowsHookEx( WH_MSGFILTER ,

(HOOKPROC)MessageProc,

hInst,

0) ;
 hWindowForMessages        = MessageMapWindow ;
}



LRESULT CALLBACK MessageProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
AnsiString DataVal
;


                   if ( nCode < 0 )
                   {
                         return CallNextHookEx (hMsgFilterHook, nCode,
wParam, lParam);
                    }

// this is only here to see if any messages are being seen inside the hook
                      DataVal               = "Filter Hook "
;
                      COPYDATASTRUCT cds     = {0}
;
                      cds.dwData             = 0x4D696B65;
                      cds.cbData             = DataVal.Length()
;
                      cds.lpData             = DataVal.c_str()
;

                      ::SendMessage( hWindowForMessages , WM_COPYDATA, 0,
reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>( &cds ) ) ;


                      if ( nCode == MSGF_MENU)
                     {
                           DataVal               = "Filter Hook -- Menu
Message"                                    ;

                           COPYDATASTRUCT cds     = {0}
;
                           cds.dwData             =  0x4D696B65;
                           cds.cbData              = DataVal.Length()
;
                           cds.lpData               = DataVal.c_str()
;

                           ::SendMessage( hWindowForMessages , WM_COPYDATA,
0, reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>( &cds ) ) ;

                          CWPSTRUCT *cwpsParam = (CWPSTRUCT *) lParam;

                          if( cwpsParam->message == WM_MENUSELECT )
                         {
                              DataVal               = "Filter Hook -- Menu
Select Message"    ;

                             COPYDATASTRUCT cds     = {0}
;
                             cds.dwData             = 0x4D696B65;
                            cds.cbData             = DataVal.Length()
;
                            cds.lpData             = DataVal.c_str()
;

                            ::SendMessage( hWindowForMessages , WM_COPYDATA,
0, reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>( &cds ) ) ;
                          }
                      }
                     return CallNextHookEx (hMsgFilterHook, nCode, wParam,
lParam);
}


That is all the code. I have traced the DLL and it appears the call to the
DLL is working fine as I see it and the  hMsgFilterHook  gets an address
assigned. But no messages are received within the hook procedure.

I really appreciate you helping me with this.

Thanks

Mike
