Use of SetWindowsHookEx detectd as spyware
-
Hi I am creating a MAC OS Type dock bar application (Similar to Object dock) on Windows for one of our customer. I need to implement auto hiding feature in dock bar (similar to auto hide feature in windows task bar). As per my knowledge only possible way to implement auto hide is to use SetWindowsHookEx API to create System hook for mouse event. Now the problem is that I heard that all application that is using SetWindowsHookEx api are detected as spyware by most anti virus and other tools. Can some one suggest how can I use SetWindowsHookEx safely or any other way to implement auto hide feature in these kinds of applications.

I have used the SetWindowsHookEx() in some application. But haven't got the warning from the antivirus yet( tried in norton ). How ever try putting the SetWindowsHookEx in a dll. I.e create a function in the dll and eport it. inside that function call the SetWindowsHookEx.
