SetWindowsHookEx
The SetWindowsHookEx function installs an application-defined hook procedure into a hook chain. You would install a hook procedure to monitor the system for certain types of events. These events are associated either with a specific thread or with all threads in the same desktop as the calling thread.
HHOOK SetWindowsHookEx(
int idHook, // hook type
HOOKPROC lpfn, // hook procedure
HINSTANCE hMod, // handle to application instance
DWORD dwThreadId // thread identifier
);
