Hey, I'm using the win32 API and I need to find a way to get ALL messages passing through Windows, not just a certain window that my app created, but all windows that have been created by all applications. What function(s) do I need to use to do this (is it something like EnumWindows?), or is there some function I can call that will get all messages, not just ones that are being passed to a certain window? Please reply if you know, or need me to elaborate. Thanks!
