Hi Can a dll have a message loop. I want to make a dll which can capture the key pressed event on a device and start doing something. Can anybody help me with some sample code as to how do that. Suppose i being the user have pressed the switched off button on the mobile(Windows Mobile) and my dll is working in the background . So how can i make my dll aware that a key has been pressed and I have to do something according to the pressed key. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll need to install a keyboard hook for that. However, post your query in the mobile development forum[^] as people there may be able to help you with more details.

You need to understand that a dll cannot work independently, it is merely a library of subroutines called by an executable program.

My problem is my dll is getting attached to one of the processes which I dont know so its difficult for me to trace.Is there some solution or remedy to my problem

The only thing that comes to mind is that your design needs reviewing. I have no idea what your dll is supposed to do, but if it is necessary for it to know when the system is being shut down then I suspect it contains some functionality that does not belong in a dll.

Let me explain a bit what i am doing. We have a MapiRule example in one of the SDks(Windows MObile 6.0 SDK)where we are setting a rule of collecting the sms somewhere else apart from the default inbox.. This is the application which I am modifying a bit. Now when I install this dll in the device its get attached to one of the process(of which I have no idea)and starts working at the background. Now I want that this dll which is running at the background should be able to get a keymessage event(or a stylus event) and do something...but Suppose I am switching the device off then i want that a message box will pop up..something of that sort. Now if you got some idea will you be able to help me out. Thanks in advance!!!

That would seem to be the first issue you need to resolve. If you do not know who is using your library then how can you expect to control it? As I said before, your design needs to be looked. This functionality belongs in an application not in a dll.
