A Easy message filter to a Win32 application vc++.

IF you know c# or vc.Net you can see interfaces like IMessageFilter , which allows to filter a particular message from the application.

So this can be done in win32 with some lines of coding , no need for any interface :)).

I don't want to explain anything more than these code snippets.We know every win32 app has a message loop. it may be look like this

while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))

{

if (!TranslateAccelerator(msg.hwnd, hAccelTable, &msg))

{

   TranslateMessage(&msg);

   DispatchMessage(&msg);

}

}

So we can add filter , which will filter all WM_LBUTTONDOWN message from this application by a mere checking, like

while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))

{
 if (msg.message != WM_LBUTTONDOWN && !TranslateAccelerator(msg.hwnd, hAccelTable, &msg)) 

 {

   TranslateMessage(&msg);

   DispatchMessage(&msg);

  }

}

Thats all..
