Hello!
How can i use GetMessage or PeekMessage function from dotnet?
code:
fn myGM =
(
source = ""
source += "using System;
"
source += "using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
"
source += "public class GM
"
source += "{
"
source += " [DllImport(\"user32.dll\")]
"
source += " public static extern bool PeekMessage(out int msg, int hwnd , int x, int y, int w);
"
source += "}
"
csharpProvider = dotnetobject "Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider"
compilerParams = dotnetobject "System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters"
compilerParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add "System.dll"
compilerParams.GenerateInMemory = on
compilerResults = csharpProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource compilerParams #(source)
(compilerResults.CompiledAssembly).CreateInstance "GM"
)
x = myGM()
msg = 0x0201
x.PeekMessage msg (windows.getMaxhwnd()) 0 0 0
That gives False, when executed, second time executed 3dsmax falls down. How can i start some thread to loop all mouse messages that happened in max? There is an example in msdn with while-loop and TranslateMessage, i don’t know how to translate it to maxscript.
Thank you!
pinvoke.net is invaluable for this sort of thing

Thank you, as far as i see, the probem is not in PeekMessage, but that i don’t know how to start a separate thread that will check messages in max. Maybe cause of max is not multithreading it’s impossible?)
what exactly are you trying to achieve? have you looked into using a scripted mouse tool ?
just for example: i want to get to max some data from mouseclick in another application (text in lineedit or smth else)
what you want to do calls Windows Hooks.

it works for me…
but if you want just send (not monitor) a message to some window in another thread you don’t have to use Hooks. You can use the PostMessage.
thank you very much, Denis!
I want to monitor messages, so WindowsHooks is just what i need, i’m fighting with c# right now…)
I’ve already done it using python (pyHook module) =)
