Get window handle on which mouse button was clicked
-
Hey, I'm using Windows Hook, I installed the mouse hook, system-wide and its working perfectly. Now there is a problem, I need to the get window handle on which the mouse was clicked.. How do I do that? Does the Mouse hook event passes us that information?

Are you using

Well, I was using WH_MOUSE_LL earlier. I changed my code to WH_MOUSE. Now the code is:
HWND hWnd = NULL;
HWND hDesktopListWnd = NULL;hWnd = FindWindow(_T("ProgMan"), NULL);
hWnd = GetWindow(hWnd, GW_CHILD);
hDesktopListWnd = GetWindow(hWnd, GW_CHILD);threadID = GetWindowThreadProcessId(hDesktopListWnd, NULL);
hookMouse = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_MOUSE, (HOOKPROC)InternalMouseHookCallback, g_appInstance, threadID);
It installs the hook successfully, but I don't get the mouse hook events now. Basically I want to get click events when any icon on the desktop is clicked.

Hmmm. But I ran into another problem. Since I only needed Desktop's ListView (SysListView32) mouse events. I used WH_MOUSE because it can be thread specific whereas WH_MOUSE_LL can be global hook only that's why. Now when I did this change, I'm not getting any events when I click on the desktop icons or anywhere in the desktop.
hookMouse = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_MOUSE, (HOOKPROC)InternalMouseHookCallback, g_appInstance, threadID);Here g_appInstance is the address of the DLL. threadID is the ID of the thread in which there is the SysListView32 (which is the desktop). InternalMouseHookCallback is a callback of .NET function. But now its not working. Please help me out. I'm using the Global System Hooks in .NETTop Web Hosting Providers[^] Do, or do not.

The first parameter is wrong.
hookMouse = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_MOUSE, (HOOKPROC)InternalMouseHookCallback, g_appInstance, threadID);
You should handle "WM_MOUSE" in the "InternalMouseHookCallback".
