I am using this lib http://code.google.com/p/injex/ to inject a dll that contains a keyboard hook function. The dll is simple, just create a thread and use the 'setWindowsHookEx' function.
The injection was always successful, but the keyboard hook didn't work for all the cases.
I wrote a simple 'hello world' win32 app, and use injex.exe to inject the keyboard hook dll into it. All works as expected.
If I choose a complex program to inject (A game written in delphi), the dll was successfully injected(I can see the injected main form), but it failed to hook the keyboard.
So my question is:
Is the failure of keyboard hook because of the injection method, or the keyboard hook function?
Is it possible that a dll can be injected, but its functionalities are not guaranteed?
So any advices are welcome.
Here is the dll code:
