SetWindowHookEx

My app uses SetWindowHookEx to install a WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook.
Currently, the wine implementation tells me
"fixme:hook:set_windows_hook system hook WH_KEYBOARD_LL won't work right"
when I try to use it.  I'd like to implement this so I can get my app to
run, but I'm not sure where to start, since I don't know why it
"won't work right."  Any hints/suggestions?

I'm working on it. Basically it won't work right across processes at
this point; if you have a single process it should be OK.

So you mean to say that my windows X-Eyes implementation won't work on 
WINE????? Damn.

Anyone knows of any Unix port of that program?

No, wait. I'm using a mouse hook. Maybe it'll work after all.

At this point probably not, but if you could send me that app I'd be
interested to play with it.

I sent Alexandre the App privately. I originally wanted to CC the list 
(the app can be distributed under either GPL or LGPL), but the mail was 
rejected. I would hereby like to appologize for trying to attach more 
than the set limit of 40Kb of a zip file to the list. My appologies.

In leu of such atrocities which I would not like to commit, and I would 
like to thank the moderator for stopping that mail, I have placed on a 
web site, and am hereby making both source and a compiled binary 
available in a zip file (no wonder it was more than 40Kb, what was I 
thinking trying to send it to the list) at 
http://www.consumer.org.il/personal/xeyes.zip.

D/L size is 49Kb.

Thanks,
            Shachar

Hi all,

I just found out that the version I posted on the web was an old one. 
Some of the bugs there were purely visual, but there is a serious 
problem with the shared memory creation there that causes it not to work 
on Windows 98. Since I also have the new version, I have updated the 
link with the new version.

My appologies.

As before, treat this as a GPL program.
