asked on

keyboard hook problem

Dear Sirs

I use a DLL with my hook function to monitor all keystroke message, meantime I also want to send the keystroke message back to the application who generate it.
my DLL show as below :
//----------------------------hook DLL
library hook;


uses

  Unit2 in 'Unit2.pas';

   exports hookproc index 1 name 'hookproc'  ;
   exports sethook index 2 name 'sethook'  ;
   exports unhook index  3 name 'unhook'  ;


begin

  hookedalready:=false;

end.

//---------------------------------------------------
unit Unit2;


interface
uses Wintypes,Winprocs,Messages;
procedure SetHook;export;
procedure UnHook; export;

function HookProc(Code:integer; wParam: Word; lParam: Longint): Longint;export;
 


var


   HookedAlready:Boolean;
 

 

implementation
var
  ourHook:HHook;
 
procedure SetHook ;
begin
if HookedAlready then exit;
ourHook:= SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD,@HookProc,HInstance,0);
HookedAlready:=True;
end;
procedure UnHook ;
begin
UnHookWindowsHookEx(ourHook);
HookedAlready:=False;
end;
function HookProc(Code:integer; wParam: Word; lParam: Longint): Longint;
begin
 
 
     if code<0 then
     begin
     {my program}
      result:=CallNextHookEx(ourHook,Code,wParam,lParam);

     end

end;
end.
//--------------------------------------end of hook DLL

but if I call the sethook in my application using the code below:
    dll:=loadlibrary("hook.dll');
    sethook:=getprocaddress(dll,'sethook') ;
    sethook;

then all keystroke message will be locked, not as I think can be sent back to  application who generate the message.
I do not know where is wrong.
Can any person help me?

Thanks

typo:
if Code >= 0 then begin
should read:
if Code > 0 then begin

it is the first call to callnexthookex that passes the message on..and the seciond call passes it if the code not > 0 .

Mr inthe:

Thank for your answer.
The goal of my generating the hook function is to monitor the keystroke.
In the DLL, I use a variable i to be the mark whether a keystroke occured.
If occured , it will set i to 1.
And I use a timer to read the i status and
clear i to zero every 3 second in application where call the DLL.
After I added your codes to DLL, it can send keystroke message back to the application I call the hook. But outside of the application form, when I press key nothing happen (mark i not to be set to 1)
below is my DLL and application :
//-----------------------------------DLL
library hook;
uses
  Unit2 in 'Unit2.pas';
   exports hookproc index 1 name 'hookproc'  ;
   exports sethook index 2 name 'sethook'  ;
   exports unhook index  3 name 'unhook'  ;
    exports geti index 4 name 'geti'  ;
    exports seti index 5 name 'seti'  ;
    exports cleari index 6 name 'cleari'  ;
begin
  hookedalready:=false;

i dont have the time for 6 points ?
sorry that seems not fair to me ,but it should be something like:

function HookProc(Code:integer; wParam: Word; lParam: Longint): Longint;
begin
if Code <>  0 then
begin
 seti; {do your stuff then pass on call}
 Result := CallNextHookEx(ourhook,Code,Wparam,lparam);
 end
else  {code = 0 so pass on call}
Result := CallNextHookEx
(ourhook, Code, Wparam,lparam);
 end;
 
end;

Mr inthe:

I will express my very sorry not to give you the 6 point . I am one new Experts-Exchange's member, it is the first time I ask question, I am not familar with some operation , after received your first answer I  increase the score to 10 point and submit it , but I do not know why you have not received it.
I have done as you said to test  your second time codes, I also read a lot of relevant information about hook in the Experts-Exchange-such as Q10097258,Q10043315,Q10199528 and etc. There are a lot of different answer.
Finally I think may be as below:
//----------------------------------------------------
function HookProc(Code:integer; wParam: Word; lParam:
Longint): Longint;
begin
if Code <  0 then
 
   Result := CallNextHookEx
   (ourhook, Code, Wparam,lparam);
else 
begin
   {do my stuff then pass on call}
   messagebeep(1);
   seti;
   Result :=0;
 
 end;
 
end;
//----------------------------------------------
but if I did as above, another two problem also confuse me:
1.if keystrike occured on my form where call the DLL, then beep right sounds,  the value of i  will be 1.
if keystrike occured on other form , then beep   sounds,  the value of i  will be 0, not as I hope to be 1.
2.before I call the DLL, there is another HOOK program reside in win95 system whose main function is to  capture the keyboard strike and input the special char- two segment char , after I call my DLL, then the another HOOK program does not do the work as previous.
If I unhook the my hook, then the another program resume.
It really is a big problem to me. I think the right answer of the question is worthy of at least 20 point. I do not know how to pay it.
