Win32 Monitoring...

Post by Tom »

Hello...in VC++...how would I be able to see what's (everything) is going on in windows? I mean like, see when a file is being executed...user pressed the 'a' key...


How would I do this? Look at the WM_<Message> messages sent and see what's going on? How?...


Thank you,
SGreenslade

Can't help you there...but if you manage to pull off that sort of thing...be sure to send me a copy...I'd like what stakes are jammed in the processing gears of Windows 98 on my computer.

That sort of things is not very easy to do, and I can't say I've ever done it. There are utilities that can tell you when a file has been read from, written to, etc. Same thing with the registry. See http://www.sysinternals.com. But I can't really tell you how to do it.

I really wouldn't know, since I've never done either of them. All I can suggest is look at the source code for the programs at sysinternals.com and maybe look for some really advanced windows programming resources.
