  |
|
EDIT:
I've edited it to, rather than for every one key, it would call the handler twice (on WM_(SYS)KEYDOWN and WM_(SYS)KEYUP), it only calls the handler once (on the WM_(SYS)KEYDOWN message).
~~
I've created a static keyboard hook and figured I'd go ahead and release it here.
EDIT:
I've made it a little more customizable. I've simply replaced what needed to be replaced in the code. Please PM me if I've missed something (i.e., the code doesn't build).
There are a couple steps to using this.
First Step:
Add a new class with this code (make sure to replace the "YOURNAMESPACE" with your actual namespace):
| Code: |
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
//using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace TestKeybdHook
{
public static class Hook
{
//This class is based lightly off of the class found at the following website
//http://blogs.msdn.com/toub/archive/2006/05/03/589423.aspx
private static class API
{
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern IntPtr SetWindowsHookEx(
int idHook,
HookDel lpfn,
IntPtr hMod,
uint dwThreadId);
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
public static extern bool UnhookWindowsHookEx(
IntPtr hhk);
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern IntPtr CallNextHookEx(
IntPtr hhk,
int nCode,
IntPtr
wParam,
IntPtr lParam);
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern IntPtr GetModuleHandle(
string lpModuleName);
}
public enum VK
{

Second Step:
Removed--not needed.
Third Step:
Create a method with the return type void in your class to call the hook with code along the lines of this:
| Code: |
public static void KeyHandler(IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)
{
int key = Marshal.ReadInt32(lParam);
Hook.VK vk = (Hook.VK)key;
switch(vk)
{
case Hook.VK.F5: MessageBox.Show("You pressed F5!");
break;
case Hook.VK.F6: MessageBox.Show("You pressed F6!");
break;
//etc...
default: break;
}
}
|
Fourth Step
Whenever you decide to initialize the hook, simply call
| Code: |
Hook.CreateHook(METHODNAMEHERE);
|
Where "METHODNAMEHERE" is the name of the method that you created in the 3rd step. When you're done with it, call
| Code: |
Hook.DestroyHook();
|
If you want, you can create a non-static class so that you can create many keyboard hooks, but I'm not quite sure why one might want to do this--hence, I've created a static one.
