GetMessage on different thread?

[Brad1011]

This might be really complicated to do, but how would I go about using GetMessage on a different thread. What I'm trying to do it "hook" a program and intercept messages. I already have the window handle (HWND).


Also, SetWindowLong doesn't work on different threads does it?

In order to intercept program's messages, you should use SetWindowsHookEx with WH_CBT.
You can find a lot of information in the MSDN, and lots of examples on the net.

It does work, but within the same process. ;) What SetWindowLong does is sets the function pointer as window procedure. And a valid pointer within one process is meaningless outside of it.

u will have to inject code todo this.
