Know Everything

I used to program in VB, I used to use a dll ShellHook.dll
Is there anything similar in Delphi? I need to do exactly the same thing, need to know if anything is closed or opened (porgram or folder)
thanks

You can use this DLL with Delphi as well. Register the DLL, then Import the Type Library and it will
create a component that you can drop onto your form and hook up the events.

ok, I got delphi7 and I tried your code this is what I got(Im still newbie

so the problem may be very silly sorry):

Field Form1.cShellHook1 does not have a corresponding component. Remove the

dec?
The FormCreate method referenced by Form1.OnCreate does not exist. Remove

the ref?

Eddie Shipman

You have to import the DLL using Import Type Library and then drop the cShellHook control on your form.

Then create the FormCreate by dbl-clicking it in the Object Inspector and copy/past the code from the FormCreae
above into it.
