Greetings- -
I would like to monitor the keystrokes in a control in another app.

I understand the SetWindowHookEx() needs to be in a .dll

I'm wonding how to make the association between establishing a hook to
another application, and then in that application to an edit box (for
example).


I've done projects using FindWindow(), and then getting window handles of
child windows, etc.
I'm sure there is a connection, but can anybody connect to dots for me?

Thanks,
CurtC
