NTService and Hooks

[FlorianS]

Is it possible to add a hook to keyboard from a services I want to add the hook when the service is starting and remove the hook when the service is stop. I tried but the hook can not be installed. Thanks Florian

Yes you can, the only thing that you must consider is that a system wide keyboard hook must be placed inside a DLL. Then you should create a DLL that contains the hook (the callback function) and remember that the service must have a mesage pump. If you have more questions or if I have not been so clear, (or if I've completely missed the shot) don't mind to ask again. Hope this helps...
