JournalPlaybackProc
The JournalPlaybackProc hook procedure is a callback function that inserts mouse and keyboard
messages into the system message queue. Typically, an application uses this hook
procedure to play back a series of mouse and keyboard messages recorded previously
by the JournalRecordProc hook procedure. As long as a JournalPlaybackProc hook procedure is installed, regular mouse and keyboard input is disabled.
LRESULT CALLBACK JournalPlaybackProc(
int code,
| // hook code
| WPARAM wParam,
| // undefined
| LPARAM lParam
| // address of message being processed
| );
|
|
Parameters
code
Specifies a code the hook procedure uses to determine how to process the
message. This parameter can be one of the following values:
Value
| Meaning
| HC_GETNEXT
| The hook procedure must copy the current mouse or keyboard message to the EVENTMSG structure pointed to by the lParam parameter.
| HC_NOREMOVE
| An application has called the PeekMessage function with wRemoveMsg set to PM_NOREMOVE, indicating that the message is not removed from the
message queue after PeekMessage processing.
| HC_SKIP
| The hook procedure must prepare to copy the next mouse or keyboard message to
the EVENTMSG structure pointed to by lParam. Upon receiving the HC_GETNEXT code, the hook procedure must copy the message
to the structure.
| HC_SYSMODALOFF
| A system-modal dialog box has been destroyed. The hook procedure must resume
playing back the messages.
| HC_SYSMODALON
| A system-modal dialog box is being displayed. Until the dialog box is
destroyed, the hook procedure must stop playing back messages.
|
If code is less than zero, the hook procedure must pass the message to the CallNextHookEx function without further processing and should return the value returned by CallNextHookEx.
wParam
Specifies a NULL value.
lParam
Points to an EVENTMSG structure that represents a message being processed by the hook procedure.
This parameter is valid only when the code parameter is HC_GETNEXT.
Return Values
To have the system wait before processing the message, the return value must
be the amount of time, in clock ticks, that the system should wait. (This value
can be computed by calculating the difference between the time members in the current and previous input messages.) To process the message
immediately, the return value should be zero. The return value is used only if
the hook code is HC_GETNEXT; otherwise, it is ignored.
Remarks
A JournalPlaybackProc hook procedure should copy an input message to the lParam parameter. The message must have been previously recorded by using a JournalRecordProc hook procedure, which should not modify the message.
To retrieve the same message over and over, the hook procedure can be called
several times with the code parameter set to HC_GETNEXT without an intervening call with code set to HC_SKIP.
If code is HC_GETNEXT and the return value is greater than zero, the system sleeps
for the number of milliseconds specified by the return value. When the system
continues, it calls the hook procedure again with code set to HC_GETNEXT to retrieve the same message. The return value from this
new call to JournalPlaybackProc should be zero; otherwise, the system will go back to sleep for the number of
milliseconds specified by the return value, call JournalPlaybackProc again, and so on. The system will appear to be hung.
Unlike most other global hook procedures, the JournalRecordProc and JournalPlaybackProc hook procedures are always called in the context of the thread that set the
hook.
After the hook procedure returns control to the system, the message continues
to be processed. If code is HC_SKIP, the hook procedure must prepare to return the next recorded event
message on its next call.
An application installs a JournalPlaybackProc hook procedure by specifying the WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK hook type and the address of the hook procedure in a call to the SetWindowsHookEx function.
A Win32 JournalRecordProc hook procedure does not need to live in a dynamic-link library. A Win32 JournalRecordProc hook procedure can live in the application itself.
If the user presses CTRL+ESC or CTRL+ALT+DEL during journal playback, the system stops the playback, unhooks the journal
playback procedure, and posts a WM_CANCELJOURNAL message to the journaling application.
If the hook procedure returns a message in the range WM_KEYFIRST to
WM_KEYLAST, the following conditions apply:
- The paramL member of the EVENTMSG structure specifies the virtual key code of the key
that was pressed.
- The paramH member of the EVENTMSG structure specifies the scan code.
- There's no way to specify a repeast count. The event is always taken to
represent one key event.
JournalPlaybackProc is a placeholder for an application-defined or library-defined function name.

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
