KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT error why?

[zubeido]

HHOOK hKeyHook; __declspec(dllexport) LRESULT CALLBACK KeyEvent (int nCode,WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { if( (nCode= HC_ACTION) && ( (wParam = WM_SYSKEYDOWN) || (wParam = WM_KEYDOWN) ) ) { KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT hooked *= *((KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT*)lParam); DWORD dwMsg; dwMsg += hooked.scanCode <<16; dwMsg += hooked.flags << 24; char lpszName[0x100] = {0}; lpszName[0] = '['; int i= GetKeyNameText(dwMsg,(lpszName+1),0xff) +1; lpszName[i] = ']'; printf(lpszName); } I want to hook the keyboard but the KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT struct keeps giving error even with the intelisense showing the members of the struct. I dont really get it Here are the errors error C2065: 'KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT' : undeclared identifier error C2059: syntax error : ')' among other stupid errors. Can anyone help me? Tks in advance

This line is incorrect: KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT hooked *= *((KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT*)lParam); Change it to: KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT* hooked = (KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT*)lParam; This should clear up the errors. Regards, -John

Also, your IF statements are goofed up... Which immediately lets me know you did not turn your warning level to 4 or you are ignoring WARNINGS during your mopile, because the compiler would otherwise warn you about "Assignment within conditional expression". Try changing this: if( (nCode= HC_ACTION) && ( (wParam = WM_SYSKEYDOWN) || (wParam = WM_KEYDOWN) ) ) to this: if( (nCode == HC_ACTION) && ( (wParam == WM_SYSKEYDOWN) || (wParam == WM_KEYDOWN) ) ) I usually try to place the contant on the left hand side, because such code will NOT compile if you made such a similar error: if( (HC_ACTION == nCode) && ( (WM_SYSKEYDOWN == wParam) || (WM_KEYDOWN == wParam) ) ) Since your IF is wacked, you are probably processing messages you should not be, at times.
