Module shell 

Monitor window operations: creating, activating, title redrawing, monitor changing…

Installs a hook procedure that receives notifications useful to Windows shell applications.

See:

• ShellProc callback function
• RegisterShellHookWindow function (winuser.h)
• Shell Events (a.k.a. Shell Hooks) - zhuman/ShellReplacement

Examples

use ib_hook::windows::shell::{ShellHook, ShellHookMessage};
{
    let hook = ShellHook::new(Box::new(|msg: ShellHookMessage| {
        println!("{msg:?}");
        false
    }))
    .unwrap();

    // Perform window operations to see received events...
    std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(30));
}
// Shell hook unregistered
