It's a very powerful idea though, we'll keep in mind if we can come up with a safe way to do this in the future. ]]> RE: New scripting functionality: Window Hook https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-scripting-functionality-window-hook/?ID=e9301973-feaf-45e7-b98a-f4c4c0868e1a#4 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 18:33:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-scripting-functionality-window-hook/?ID=e9301973-feaf-45e7-b98a-f4c4c0868e1a#4 DisplayFusion A generic Window Hook that captures all Window events would be nice (imagine implementing Spy++), or maybe one with some type of class filter would be fine. Perhaps something like SetWinEventHook or SetWindowsHookEx? Something like a simplified version of SpyWorks perhaps?

Imagine I was trying to convert minimize button right-clicks to be Minimize to Tray :D

I would want to look for a WM_NCRBUTTONUP message with a HTMINBUTTON wParam and call Minimize to Tray. ]]> RE: New scripting functionality: Window Hook https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-scripting-functionality-window-hook/?ID=e9301973-feaf-45e7-b98a-f4c4c0868e1a#3 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 17:54:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-scripting-functionality-window-hook/?ID=e9301973-feaf-45e7-b98a-f4c4c0868e1a#3 DisplayFusion What types of window hooks and events are you trying to capture? ]]> RE: New scripting functionality: Window Hook https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-scripting-functionality-window-hook/?ID=e9301973-feaf-45e7-b98a-f4c4c0868e1a#2 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 15:43:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-scripting-functionality-window-hook/?ID=e9301973-feaf-45e7-b98a-f4c4c0868e1a#2 DisplayFusion I'll pass this along to our devs to see what insight they can offer on this :) ]]> New scripting functionality: Window Hook https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-scripting-functionality-window-hook/?ID=e9301973-feaf-45e7-b98a-f4c4c0868e1a Wed, 06 Jul 2016 23:02:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/new-scripting-functionality-window-hook/?ID=e9301973-feaf-45e7-b98a-f4c4c0868e1a DisplayFusion I'm not sure how you could add this (easily), but I am wondering if you could add some type of Window Hook event to BFS so that a trigger (such as Window Created) could setup a Window Hook for the new Window, calling a C# function and then modifying/capturing Window events. ]]>
