Method WindowsHook.Keyboard

---

Overload

Sets a low-level keyboard hook (WH_KEYBOARD_LL). See API SetWindowsHookEx.

public static WindowsHook Keyboard(Action<HookData.Keyboard> hookProc, bool ignoreAuInjected = true, bool setNow = true)

Parameters

hookProc  (Action<HookData.Keyboard>) The hook procedure (function that handles hook events). Must return as soon as possible. More info: WindowsHook.LowLevelHooksTimeout. If calls HookData.Keyboard.BlockEvent or HookData.ReplyMessage(true), the event is not sent to apps and other hooks. Event data cannot be modified. note When the hook procedure returns, the parameter variable becomes invalid and unsafe to use. If you need the data for later use, copy its properties and not whole variable.

ignoreAuInjected  (bool) Don't call the hook procedure for events sent by functions of this library. Default true.

setNow  (bool) Set hook now. Default true.

Returns

WindowsHook New WindowsHook object that manages the hook.

Exceptions

AuException Failed.

Examples

var stop = false;
using var hook = WindowsHook.Keyboard(x => {
	print.it(x);
	if(x.vkCode == KKey.Escape) { stop = true; x.BlockEvent(); }
});
dialog.show("hook");
//or
//wait.doEventsUntil(-10, () => stop); //wait max 10 s for Esc key
//print.it("the end");
