Is IMessageFilter only for .net windows?

[Guest]

Hi;

(I am trying to figure out the best way to intercept Word's message pump in
a .net app.) It looks like an IMessageFilter object can only be attached to
the message pum of a .net Application so it could not be used with Word. Is
this correct?

Hi dave,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, I think you are right. Word application runs in another process.
IMessageFilter can not be used to intercept another process' messages. To
do this, we must resort to Win32 hook technology.

Thanks
