I used SetWindowsHookEx, but I cannot get which KB/mouse the events are coming from in my KeyboardProc and MouseProc callback functions.

Does anyone know how I can do that?

Do you understand you right: the problem is you have more then one keyboard and more then on mouse; you need to tell which one?
Everything else comes in notification.

Solution 1

May I know why do you want to identify the particular keyboard or mouse. As with Keyboardproc and MouseProc, there ia no way to know the info. you want.

Your answer is: I need to identify keyboard because I need to identify keyboard...
How about real answer? I'm interested, too.
Why did you duplicate the Question? It won't help...

Solution 2

Perhaps you mean the window the message is sent to!?
You should use: GetFocus(), GetCapture() and WindowFromPoint().
