Message loop (pump) when attaching a child window from an external application

Question

I am about to attach a child window to an external application. The child window will be a modeless dialog. Since I do not own the source code of the external application (actually Microsoft FSX), I have no idea how I would hook into the message loop or the callback LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM) of the parent window itself.

My attaching application runs in its own process, so will I need to write my own message loop, or will my callback be invoked by the parent's message pump?

What would be the correct way of getting ahead?

Answer 1

SetWindowsHookEx is the API that will allow an external process to capture window messages (among other things).
