KeyHook Code Methode

[Techno7]

Hey Guys,
This is my first post here so sorry if I am in the wrong cathegory,

How does Winamp hook the Mediakeys, does it use the Windows messanges, but when does he consum than?

Sorry I'm not the best in English when there are Problems in understanding, i while try the explication again.

I created a program a while back for controlling the Edirol LVS-400 live video mixer/switcher board through MIDI. I created in it an entire fully user customizable global shortcuts feature that used a system wide keyboard hook to intercept keystrokes and to eat them if it matched my internal tables. Worked much better than I expected. I imagine that's how Winamp does it as well.

[EDIT/]
If you're wondering how I did it, please see the MSDN documentation for "SetWindowsHookEx" and "WH_KEYBOARD".

just by using what is mentioned on MSDN i.e. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx and WM_APPCOMMAND (if enabled).

I'll have to remember that. That looks much easier.
