Working example of JNA mouse hook

Yep, here is the code…

public class CWMouseHook {
public final User32 USER32INST;
public final Kernel32 KERNEL32INST;
public CWMouseHook()
{
    if(!Platform.isWindows())
    {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported on this platform.");
    }
    USER32INST = User32.INSTANCE;
    KERNEL32INST = Kernel32.INSTANCE;
    mouseHook=hookTheMouse();
    Native.setProtected(true);

}
public static LowLevelMouseProc mouseHook;
public HHOOK hhk;
public Thread thrd;
public boolean threadFinish = true;
public boolean isHooked = false;
public static final int WM_MOUSEMOVE = 512;
public static final int WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 513;
public static final int WM_LBUTTONUP = 514;
public static final int WM_RBUTTONDOWN = 516;
public static final int WM_RBUTTONUP = 517;
public static final int WM_MBUTTONDOWN = 519;
public static final int WM_MBUTTONUP = 520;


public void unsetMouseHook()
{
    threadFinish = true;
    if (thrd.isAlive())
    {
        thrd.interrupt();
        thrd = null;
    }
    isHooked = false;
}
public boolean isIsHooked()
{
    return isHooked;
}
public void setMouseHook()
{
    thrd = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override

                                System.out.print(isHooked);
                                if (!isHooked)

That’s all about there is to it. Cheers.
It’s a basically a ripoff of the code of a guy in Sun forums…but also tested by me, and it works so cheers again.

Edit: I edited the code so it includes the LowLevelMouseProc but you can use your extension of HOOK which you can define elsewhere. It doesn’t matter that much. Be wary that for some reason you have TO have the variable mouseHook as static otherwise hook just unhooks after a while.
