How to implement WM_CREATE message?

[tiplip]

hi,

I want to add some hook with SetWindowsHookEx on WM_CREATE like:

Code: Select all

LRESULT CALLBACK RootWindowWin::RootWndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message,
                                            WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
  switch (message) {
    case WM_CREATE:
      keyboard_hook_ = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD_LL, KeyboardProc, NULL, 0);
      break;


It seems fail, I set breakpoint on the line, but never hit, what's happend?

OS: Win7
Version: 2924

What are you trying to accomplish?

What are you trying to accomplish?

I want to implement the case:

user double click Ctrl, cefclient will show or hide(minimized), that is, working like global hot key.
I hope cefclient.exe can response even though it is in background mode, say minimized, overlapped by other program or in tray system.

You might have better success with RegisterHotKey.

the problem is not what api should be used, now is WM_CREATE is not hit, so where can I place my code?
WM_CREATE message will not be listened by RootWindowWin::RootWndProc
and RegisterHotKey can not make it possible that cefclient still can response when it is not focused.

You can put your code in RootWindowWin::CreateRootWindow after the CreateWindow call.
