VXD file - make with Delphi

How can I make a VXD driver with delphi and what can I do with it?
Can I do something like this:
- to capture Keyboard and mouse
- to simulate keystokes and mouse clicks
- to handle when an exe file is executed ot any file is opened.

When I findout how to make VXD files I will ask more questions, but that is what I want to know now.
thanks

Hi n pelov,

AFAIK , it not possible to make a VXD driver with Delphi,

to capture the Keybaord and mouse you have to write a system wide hook.

good luck

As said it is not possible to create VXDs in Delphi. Delphi cannot generate the EXE format needed.
Watching keystrokes and mouse is possible with a system wide hook. Same for app starts and focus switches.

I was sure that delphi can do almost everything.
The bulgarian language is very close to russian, but I can understand english better.

Can you tell me where can I find this compiler (note that I hate microsoft sites, but if it's necessary...)

And can you tell me where can I find vxd file to use with delphi?

I DO NOT QUIT INTERESTING IN MAKING VXD FILES WITH DELPHI!!!

I think it was olny possible with Delphi 3. I see no reason to do it in Delphi.
Personally i distrust programmers who say C is too complicated for them. Consequently i distrust the VXD they write.
