VB 2005 - How to hook into Windows to intercept all mouse events?I'm trying to write a small application that intercepts middle clicks
anywhere in the Windows environment. I want to perform different actions, based on the application that the mouse pointer was over at the time of the middl click. How does one insert a hook into Windows for a VB 2005 to act on system mouse clicks? Thx Hi,

No it is possible. The samples there are c# which convert easily to vb.net. Here is an example of a windows hook that notifies you when a device is plugged in to the usb port. http://www.vb-tips.com/default.aspx?ID=e6f103d1-1c0d-4d89-a2a0-f3826480a706 Ken --------------------- "Noozer" <dont.spam@me.here> wrote in message news:gi2xf.294938$ki.131402@pd7tw2no...Show quoteHide quote > > "Ken Tucker [MVP]" <vb***@bellsouth.net> wrote in message > news:ulZl5QlFGHA.3984@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... >> Hi, >> >> http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/10/CuttingEdge/ > > > So it's impossible to do a global hook then?

In addition, I have a VB.NET example of hooking mouse (and keyboard) events on my blog: http://www.colinneller.com/blog/PermaLink,guid,2838f59a-f4af-4c95-a322-b9ee5918a39c.aspx "Noozer" <dont.spam@me.here> wrote in message news:xgfxf.305760$ki.30154@pd7tw2no...Show quoteHide quote > Thanks Ken! > > It's appreciated! > > > "Ken Tucker [MVP]" <vb***@bellsouth.net> wrote in message > news:%23m7WpYqFGHA.3200@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... >> Hi, >> >> No it is possible.
