Hello,

To start off, this has no sense. It's just for fun/to learn.

Code:
hook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CBT, (HOOKPROC)MyHookProc, hInst, 0);


Code:
LRESULT CALLBACK MyHookProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
   if(nCode == HCBT_CREATEWND){
      CBT_CREATEWND *pccw = (CBT_CREATEWND *)lParam;
      char szBuf[30];
      GetAtomName (LOWORD (pccw->lpcs->lpszClass), szBuf, 30);
      if(strcmp(szBuf, "notepad") == 0){
         return 1;      
      }
   }
   LRESULT lResult = CallNextHookEx(hook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
   return lResult;
}


(return 1 on HCBT_CREATEWND means it wont create it.)
My problem is, it doesn't get the class name correctly.
I already tried returning 1 on all..worked. But let's say I only want to return 1 if the class-name of the Window will be "notepad", how do I do that?

I've been working on that for hours now..without result.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Code:
LRESULT CALLBACK MyHookProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
   if (nCode < 0)
      return CallNextHookEx(hook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
   
   if (nCode == HCBT_CREATEWND)
   {
      char szBuf[30];
      GetClassName((HWND)wParam, szBuf, sizeof(szBuf));
      
      if (strcmp(szBuf, "Notepad") == 0)
      {
         return 1;
      }
   }
   return CallNextHookEx(hook, nCode, wParam, lParam);
}

Awesome thanks. Smile
But is there any way I can access the parameters used in CreateWindow from the lParam?

Yep you can still use the lParam, although it doesn't seem very useful to me or I'm doing something wrong. I tried changing the x, y pos for notepad but there was no affect, and the title doesn't seem to be set yet either. /shrugs

Code:
CREATESTRUCT *CWndStruc = ((CBT_CREATEWND *)lParam)->lpcs;

MSDN Remarks wrote:
Note Because the lpszClass member can contain a pointer to a local (and thus inaccessable) atom, do not obtain the class name by using this member. Use the GetClassName function instead.

Windows NT/2000/XP: You should access the data represented by the lpCreateParams member using a pointer that has been declared using the UNALIGNED type, because the pointer may not be DWORD aligned.

I see, that's why it didn't work for me.
Anyway, I tried changing some of the parameters too.
It didn't work on notepad for me either, but on firefox when it creates the Browser window. Set cx, cy, x and y to 100 and it showed up google in a little browser then x).

Thanks alot for all your help x)
