Hi folks,

Does anyone have a snippet of code for using the Hook functions in a
windows programme written for Borland C++ v3 with OWL.

I am having a go at writing a screen saver (just for fun). If I move the mouse
then everything is fine and the screen saver does NOT pop up. But at the
moment it ignores key presses. A bit undesirable for a screen saver. The Hook
functions appear to let you look at all windows messages independent of there
destination task. This may be what I am looking for.

If you have any suggestions or code snippets please drop me a spot of mail.

Many thanks,
        Stu
