Writing global hooks in Dev-c++ IDE

[jayapalchandran]

i started doing windows programs using Dev-C++ IDE. I am creating a global keyboard hook for testing purpose... it is not working properly... so i got a doubt like dev-c++ may not be completely support writing global hooks in it... i dont want to use visual c++ because i want the code to be in Win32 api... can any one give related links or suggestions for my thought...

Dev C++ supports using Win32 APIs, which means it supports functionalities given by Win32 APIs. It must be something wrong in your code, can you post & explain how you have written that code.

Some version of Visual Studio 2005 is freely downloadable somewhere on microsoft.com I do not remember the exact link, using visual C++ IDE does not mean you are going away from win32 api, you can use pure winapi within that IDE, and obviously that is portable to dev c++ too.

Dev C++ includes full set of headers and libraries, and it is small issue that mingw (backend compiler) can never lack.

As per krishna, please post your code.
