You can remove a message filter when you no longer want to capture Windows messages before they are dispatched.
Before you can use a message filter, you must provide an implementation for the IMessageFilter interface. The following class creates a message filter called TestMessageFilter. This filter blocks all messages relating to the left mouse button.
' Creates a message filter.
<SecurityPermission(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Flags := SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode)> _
Public Class TestMessageFilter
Implements IMessageFilter
<SecurityPermission(SecurityAction.Demand)> _
Public Function PreFilterMessage(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) _
As Boolean Implements IMessageFilter.PreFilterMessage
' Blocks all the messages relating to the left mouse button.
If ((m.Msg >= 513) And (m.Msg <= 515)) Then
Console.WriteLine("Processing the messages : " & m.Msg)
Return True
End If
Return False
End Function
End Class
// Creates a message filter.
[SecurityPermission(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Flags = SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode)]
public class TestMessageFilter : IMessageFilter
{
public bool PreFilterMessage(ref Message m)
{
// Blocks all the messages relating to the left mouse button.
if (m.Msg >= 513 && m.Msg <= 515)
{
Console.WriteLine("Processing the messages : " + m.Msg);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
// Creates a message filter.
ref class TestMessageFilter: public IMessageFilter
{
public:
[SecurityPermission(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Flags = SecurityPermissionFlag::UnmanagedCode)]
virtual bool PreFilterMessage( Message % m )
{
// Blocks all the messages relating to the left mouse button.
if ( m.Msg >= 513 && m.Msg <= 515 )
{
Console::WriteLine( "Processing the messages : {0}", m.Msg );
return true;
}
return false;
}
};
