hook

My ultimate goal is to track file operations done by explorer.exe via hooking file api in kernel32.dll, however I have yet to get that working (either explorer.exe is not calling the APIs, or something is wrong on my end). In order to figure out what is going on, I've set a goal to track whenever notepad.exe creates a file, however this has failed for some reason as well! I have 3 Visual Studio 2012 C++ projects: my DLL, a DLL injector that will force any executable to load my dll (although it may fail if Unicode/Multibyte and 32/64bit settings don't match up), and a test program that calls

Not a terribly good question, sorry. I have a program that needs to be alerted when a file is opened from explorer (i.e. ShellExecute(A/W) is called). Unfortunately, Microsoft removed the COM interface (IShellExecuteHook) that allows you to hook these events in Vista and up, supposedly because older code could cause a crash due to changes. There was a work-around to re-enable this feature, but it no longer works. I've done some research and it looks like the only way to catch calls to ShellExecute is to re-route the call to shell32.dll. At the moment, I'm looking at injecting my own DLL into

I want to extend MS Outlook so that when a calendar reminder pops up, I can run a VBA hook that can run an external program (like a batch script). In my case, I want to "forward" the reminder to a Linux desktop since I work in both environments and I don't always have the Windows desktop visible. I see an example at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/HV080803406.aspx and have opened VBA Developer view in MS outlook 2010 and inserted a class module and added that VBA code, but I do not see how to activate this code - when a reminder pops up, this code is not activated.

For my Wordpress website I want to generate programmatically and automatically an extra photo size while a user uploads a picture . I want this photo also to appear in the media library. I wrote a little side plugin which I activate to hook into the upload action. My question is, which wp upload action I should hook into to generate this extra size of the uploaded image. Example of getting the current upload and write the extra image entry are welcome. Thanks! You can try wp_handle_upload_prefilter: add_filter('wp_handle_upload_prefilter', 'custom_upload_filter' ); function custom_upload

I have a program (NWShader) which hooks into a second program's OpenGL calls (NWN) to do post-processing effects and whatnot. NWShader was originally built for Windows, generally modern versions (win32), and uses both DLL exports (to get Windows to load it and grab some OpenGL functions) and Detours (to hook into other functions). I'm using the trick where Win will look in the current directory for any DLLs before checking the sysdir, so it loads mine. I have on DLL that redirects with this method: #pragma comment(linker, "/export:oldFunc=nwshader.newFunc) To send them to a different named

Let's say I have a "Processor" interface exposing an event - OnProcess. Usually the implementors do the processing. Thus I can safely subscribe on this event and be sure it will be fired. But one processor doesn't do processing - thus I want to prevent subscribers to subscibe on it. Can I do that? In other words in the code below I want the last line to throw an exception: var emptyProcessor = new EmptyProcessor(); emptyProcessor.OnProcess += event_handler; // This line should throw an exception. class EmptyProcessor : IProcessor { [Obsolete("EmptyProcessor.OnProcess should not be directly

Is there a way to auto insert the commit message in Smartgit with a hook script? (Bash). If a user commit's his change, I want to preload the commit message field. VonC I don't see any SmartGit configuration for this feature. I would rather rely on a prepare-commit-msg hook as described in " How do I add project-specific information to the Git commit comment? ", based on a commit.template Git configuration . See also " Including the current branch name in the commit template " for another example. There are 2 hooks which may be of interest to you: prepare-commit-msg and commit-msg prepare
