Message Filtering

[A T I F]

Is there any way to grab all messages of windows, child windows and non windows in an application before they are actually processed....

I forgot to add...in one place so that I can filter them.

Create a class which implements the IMessageFilter interface. Add an instance of that class to the Application by calling Application.AddMessageFilter. If you're using .NET Compact Framework, this method is not available. OpenNETCF's Smart Device Framework[^] has an ApplicationEx class to replace Application, which does have this feature. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I did exactly that. it works fine for the main application form but when ever there is a model dialog popup the filter does not work on that window.....any idea why
