The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to Detect WM_KEYUP and WM_KEYDOWN in a KeyboardHook procedure using WPARAM and LPARAM

Asked by ramavorray in Windows Programming, C++ Programming Language

Tags: C++, firefox

I have a KeyboardHook (as a DLL) which senses all keyboard activity and it is of type WH_KEYBOARD

The keyboard hook is working well and the keyboard callback procedure is called with parameters WPARAM and LPARAM

I am able to sense the key pressed (like VK_A, VK_DOWN) but I am not able to sense KEYUP/KEYDOWN

I tried many alternatives including code found online (even on EE) but it doesn't work.

When a key is hit my Keyboard Callback Procedure is being called multiple times instead of only one time (that is, when key is pressed)

Code snippets are attached.

I am using Visual Studio 2005 and running on Windows XP Professional 32bit system
