Shell hooking is monitoring window activity, which helps when automating apps. This particular method is pretty similar to installing WH_SHELL hook with SetWindowsHookEx, but instead of callback proc it makes use of window's proc, so GuiRegisterMsg() can be used.
How to set it up:
First we have to register unique message - RegisterWindowMessage("SHELLHOOK")
Then GuiRegisterMsg() the message with a handler function, and of course hook up our GUI with RegisterShellHookWindow (and unregister when not needed anymore).
And that's pretty much it.
What it does:
$HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED, $HSHELL_WINDOWACTIVATED, $SHELL_WINDOWDESTROYED
Notifies when some window is created, activated or destroyed. Gives window handle.
$HSHELL_REDRAW
Notifies when some window (taskbar button?) is redrawed, mainly due to change of its title. Gives window handle.
$HSHELL_FLASH
Notifies when some window is flashing (is followed with $HSHELL_REDRAW). Gives window handle.
$HSHELL_GETMINRECT
Happens when some window is minimized/maximized, and is supposed to give rectangle coords with SHELLHOOKINFO structure, but that part isn't working for me, only window handle is.
$HSHELL_ACCESSIBILITYSTATE
Notifies when some accessibility options change...
$HSHELL_SYSMENU
Notifies when some window's system menu is brought up by right clicking its taskbar button. Gives window handle.
Other codes never triggered for me, but YMMV.
Much of this functionality can be achieved by polling WinActivate, WinExists and etc., but that is so uncool (not to mention CPU usage it may take if you want to monitor all windows).
I threw this together when I was experimenting with various ways to keep other apps from stealing keyboard focus from my text editor.
Would be possible to write some taskbar-like utility using these too.
