C# hook all input message from user to windows

WinForms

I am trying to make a simple macro thing, I want it to record messages such as the mouse inputs, but also things like page select. I plan on saving these into a list or array, and then just looping over them and sending to the computer.

I am using WinForms.

My problems, I don't know how to send them, and I don't know how to get them.



Thanks for any help!!

What I have tried:

I tried a silly thing using ChatGPT, and it was quite helpful, but then I adventally released its method doesn't capture certain events and it used PostMessage which required knowing which window to send to. I don't want to use a window as a frame(Unless that's required) I want to just know which messages happen directly as the are sent. I don't understand much about this, as I don't use C# much, so sorry if this wont work.

My current hooking method is

private IntPtr SetHook(int idHook, Delegate hookProc)
{
    using (Process curProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess())
    using (ProcessModule curModule = curProcess.MainModule)
    {
        return SetWindowsHookEx(idHook, hookProc, GetModuleHandle(curModule.ModuleName), 0);
    }
}

But again I don't usually use C# so I'm not quite sure what to do.

Thanks for any help!!
