Read the Messages which are posted to other application like spy++ but from the code

Question

We have an application which will get the messages from the device level . Now we want to create a tool which can track the messages which are posted to the original application

Is there any way we can develop as similar to spy++ . I have searched for spy++ sdk but didnt find anywhere

*"messages from the device level"* - What sort of messages are you referring to? — IInspectable, Feb 14 '17 at 13:39
Device driver will post the messages to the application window — krish, Feb 14 '17 at 15:03
This is a fairly fuzzy description. A kernel-mode device driver doesn't know anything about windows or applications. What do you really need help with? — IInspectable, Feb 14 '17 at 15:10
Window messages can be intercepted using `SetWindowsHookEx()`. The hook callback will tell you which window each message belongs to. — Remy Lebeau, Feb 14 '17 at 16:46

Usually apps communicates with device drivers using CreateFile and DeviceIoControl. Try hooking them.
