SUMMARY
=======

HookAll2.exe is a sample that demonstrates how to use the WH_GETMESSAGE and
WH_CALLWNDPROC hooks in Windows 3.1. HookAll2.exe contains the code for a
dynamic-link library (DLL) with functions that set and remove the hooks, as well
as the hook filter functions. The DLL uses the new hook functions provided by
Windows 3.1: SetWindowsHookEx, UnhookWindowsHookEx, and CallNextHookEx.
HookAll2.exe also contains code for a TESTHOOK application that tests the DLL.

HookAll2.exe updates the HOOKALL sample to use the features provided by Windows
3.1. For more information about HOOKALL, query on the following words in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

With the exception of WM_LBUTTONDOWN messages, the hook filter functions pass all
messages directly to the next hook function in the hook chain. When they receive
a WM_LBUTTONDOWN message, the filter functions draw a rectangle of random size
and color in the TESTHOOK application's client area. One corner of the rectangle
is at the point where the user pressed the mouse button.
