Apparently that's not how Windows SDK defines it. For some obscure
reason they didn't define EX struct simply as non-EX + extra field,
but used cpp style, kind of. Older versions don't even have field name
for MOUSEHOOKSTRUCT portion, only type, but this won't work, not with
gcc at least. SDK 10 uses DUMMYSTRUCTNAME as a field name, which
resolves to 's', if NONAMELESSSTRUCT is defined. I guess we have to
follow version 10 definition.

Hello @André and @Nikolay,

please note that I defined the struct this exact way because of this
MSDN article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms644969%28v=vs.85%...

So if you think it's a bad idea to follow the definition of the MSDN
article then please tell me what I should change so I can improve the
patch.

kind regards, Kira

How should we proceed here? One suggestion that came up was to just
add the fields of MOUSEHOOKSTRUCT to the ..EX struct, and I'm fine
with that solution.

If the latest SDK is using DUMMYSTRUCTNAME that's what we should use
too.

[Kira Backes]

Okay, I've looked at the win10 SDK and made MOUSEHOOKSTRUCTEX
compatible with it using DUMMYSTRUCTNAME and submitted a new patch
version
