Two New Visual FoxPro Functions 2

[craigsboyd]

BindEventEx and UnbindEventEx allows Visual FoxPro developers to access the power of the SetWindowsHookEx API function via an FLL. Download for the FLL and a couple of examples of its use at the following link.

Looks spiffy craig. Now all I need to do is get off my tail and upgrade to a version where I can try it.

Thanks Dave. Actually you may be able to use the FLL in Visual FoxPro 7.0. Since I compiled it with Visual C++ 7.0 you would need the correct msvcrtxx.dll, but other than that I don't see any restrictions that would prohibit it from running in Visual FoxPro 7.

Actually, using a similar technique a person could create Visual FoxPro 9.0's BindEvent and UnBindEvents methods in an FLL for earlier versions of Visual FoxPro. I thought about doing it, but I'm hoping as many developers as possible upgrade to Visual FoxPro 9.0, so I didn't want to take away one of their potential reasons for upgrading.

You'll really be pleased with Visual FoxPro 9 Dave... guaranteed.
