CBT Hook

[Arnold]

Hi,
I want to make a Global CBT Hook, but the CallBack Method is never raised.
SetWindowsHookEx return me a Handle to the Hook, but when i try to uninstall
the hook the UnhookWindowsHookEx generate an error (1404: Invalid hook
handle.). A part of code is this:
Install Hook:
....
CBTCallBack = new GlobalHook.GlobalHook.HookProc(CBTCallBackEventHandler);
CBTHandle =
GlobalHook.SetWindowsHookEx(GlobalHook.HookType.WH_CBT,CBTCallBack,
Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()[0]),0);
....
CallBack Function:
....
private int CBTCallBackEventHandler(int nCode, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)
{
CBTACTIVATESTRUCT WndData;
if(nCode >= 0)
{
if(wParam.ToInt32() == 5)
{
WndData =
(CBTACTIVATESTRUCT)Marshal.PtrToStructure(lParam,typeof(CBTACTIVATESTRUCT));
if(this.Activated != null)
{
Activated(this,new CBTEventArgs(WndData.hWndActive,"none"));
}
}
}
return GlobalHook.CallNextHookEx(this.CBTHandle,nCode, wParam, lParam);
}
....

Sombody can help me?

Thanks!

I want to make a Global CBT Hook,

Then you shouldn't write it in managed code.

So, I can't do it in C#?

No, and even if you could you wouldn't want to. Global hook code must
be able to run in any process. To run managed code you must load the
CLR. That would mean loading the CLR into a bunch of processes for no
good reason.

I already read that article, but the CBT hook is in local app, not global.

Thanks!
