Dear sir,
I read about hooks and related documentation. I am developing a screen capture application, I used GDI and Direct3D methods, now I am using polling method to capture screen. But this is affecting system performance. I am searching for a solution to know a way to learn active desktop updates and to capture only at that instant. I am thinking to use hooks to track mouse or keyboard events and to capture screen according to events. Please clarify my below doubts,
1. Whether using hooks for this purpose is a right choice.
2. Is there any other ways to get notifications of screen or video memory updates.
3. I read about mirror drivers, but I don't know anything about drivers. I think writing a driver is complicated and time taking process. If any samples already available, please provide those links.
Awaiting for your reply..... Thanks in advance...
