Location of This Hook in the System

The WH_MOUSE hook is called in a thread’s message loop, as Figure 13-2 shows. This hook is located inside the GetMessage and PeekMessage functions. Therefore, if the hook returns a 1, the message is discarded inside the GetMessage or PeekMessage function and the rest of the message loop does not process it.

The location of the WH_MOUSE and WH_MOUSE_LL hooks

Figure 13-2. The location of the WH_MOUSE and WH_MOUSE_LL hooks

The WH_MOUSE_LL hook is located immediately before a message is placed into the message queue of the thread that installed the hook. Remember that all message queues are attached to the message loop of this thread. Figure 13-2 illustrates the location of this hook.
