Hi The first section on that page is almost the same as the approach taken in these patches. Why are we not doing it that way already? Why shouldn't we do it that way? Do you see any alternative if we want to handle Alt+Tab?
For our purpose we shouldn't care about mapping raw keyboard input to characters. We just need a scancode we can send to the remote side. Was there a particular reason you mentioned it? I used GetAsyncKeyState on purpose. The low level hook is not tied to one window and how far it has gotten with the processing of events. The hook is global, just like the physical keyboard is global, and we thus have to stay aware when our window has focus and we thus want to intercept everyting and when we shouldn't care. AFAICS GetAsyncKeyState works on almost the same level as the hook. If GetKeyState was used instead we would look at a modifier state that no longer applies to the keypress we are processing. So in principle it seems wrong to use GetKeyState, and when I tried it I had problems with stale modifier states. I saw that a plain Enter long time after a Ctrl+Alt+Enter was interpreted as another Ctrl+Alt+Enter. Can you demonstrate and explain why something else than GetAsyncKeyState would be better? /Mads Marc-André Moreau wrote, On 03/16/2011 12:41 AM: > Hi Mads, > > In another life, I wrote this: > http://www.docdroppers.org/wiki/index.php?title=Writing_Keyloggers > It explains in depth the two main methods for intercepting keyboard > input on Windows, and how to map raw keyboard input to characters. > > I see you're using GetAsyncKeyState().
