[Question] Global hook in D3DWindower

[wanyancan]

Have you guys used D3DWindower? (By a japanese programmer, (In japanese)) It helps to window any game using DirectX(1-9).

It creates a "Global" DirectX Hook which monitors any DirectX game when it starts (against a list). And afterwards, a hook dll is injected into it.

I'm wondering how is this kind "Global" hook implemented? Aren't windows processes in their own memory spaces? Where should this kind global hook to ? :confused:

EasyHook? (flr)

Create an injector that looks for any DirectX game you want to hook and inject?

[wanyancan]

The problem is how would one process "prepare hook or injection" for another process before it's started? Is there any system wide hook to CreateProcess?

You should look up SetWindowsHookEx
