Multiple Application Hooks race condition (maybe)

See more:

C++

Hi,

I have a vanilla application mouse hook that looks for mouse double click.
I set a flag MouseDoubleClick = true upon detection and use it liberally to my advantage in my code.

I also have a CBT hook where I watch for HCBT_CREATEWND. - This is also working as desired.

Yesterday I found that I would need to know if a MouseDoubleClick was true upon detection of
HCBT_CREATEWND but the CBT hook is beating the mouse hook so the double click is not seen.

I was concidering putting the mouse hook in a global hook to see if I could circumvent the problem but would rather not use a global hook if possible.

I also considered creating a dedicated worker thread to run the mouse hook but I don't think that would be cricket, or is it?

I don't think I am completely understanding this issue.

Thanks.
