ok, the following is some preliminary code for a keylogger im making. Its basically a test to make sure things are working before i put in the actual keylogging and work on some finer points. Its not particularly original at the moment. All its meant to do is load the dll when you click the button and in turn that should stop any keyboard input being recieved by any programs.
Needless to say its not working properly at the moment
Basically when you click the button to start logging the window just disappears and I can still use my keyboard. The dll file compiles fine as does the main program and i dont have too many ideas as to what could be the problem. (oh and before anyone asks why i have the declaration for the hook handle etc inside the switch case, i'll be moving them somewhere else at a later stage when they are needed)
main cpp file (keylogres.h only contains a #define so i didnt bother including it)
#include "keylogres.h"

}
and here is whats in that dll file
extern "C" int __declspec(dllexport) KeyboardProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

}
If anyone has any ideas i'd appreciate the help
Thanks,
