How to get copy message?
-
I need to know when a copy event occurs in the explorer. I think I must set a global hook using SetWindowsHookEx API. But which type of hook it has to be?

That seems to work only for folders. I want my application to know immediately when user is copying one or more files. Will a clipboard hook help? Is there any other way to do this?

No, it gets called for any file operations done in Explorer. A copy hook gets registered under a "folder" key but that doesn't mean it works only for folders.

Oh thats cool. Can you point me to some sample article or code? When I searched CP I found one article but there only folder copy operation is handled. My app requirement is like I need to log whenever the user is performing a file copy in the explorer. Thanks.

I don't have any sample code of my own... give Google's code search[^] a try.
