How to edit the windows event loop in a c++ builder application.
Hi,
I am writing an application that needs to intercept all messages sent from Windows to my application before the message is dispatched.
The old way I did it was to edit the GetMessage loop in my WinMain function. But now I am using Borland C++ Builder and I need to do the same thing. Any ideas on how? I want to do something like this:
while(GetMessage((LPMSG)&M
if(!checkSourceEvent((LPMS
TranslateMessage(&Msg);
DispatchMessage(&Msg);
}
}
Thanks In Advance,
Nicholas Amon

why wouldn't the same mechanism work in Borland C++ Builder if you are using Windows?

The C++ Buidler does it for you automatically in their Application->Run method, but it doesn't allow you to edit that code. I could remove the line and put in my own event loop, but then the VCL will not initialize or deliver events properly.
