Description

Windows is a message-based system where every action creates one or more messages to carry out the action. These messages are passed between objects and contain information that helps recipients interpret and act upon them. By using subclassing and the Windows hooking mechanism, you can manipulate, modify, or discard messages bound for other objects within the operating system, changing its behavior in the process. This technique allows you to achieve a range of results, including responding to window activation and deactivation, displaying menu item descriptions as the mouse moves across them, and modifying keystrokes sent to windows or controls. Subclassing & Hooking with Visual Basic demonstrates various techniques for intercepting messages bound for one or more windows or controls. The book covers both VB 6 and VB, providing a comprehensive guide to this powerful technique.
