Tracking application which changes in Mouse cursor and button status, and keyboard input

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Suppose there are three applications,
1. MouseSimulator
2. KeyboardSimulator
3. SimulatorTracker (my Custom Application).

First of all,
1. MouseSimulator can change cursor status, move the Cursor all over the screen, Click the mouse buttons.
2.KeyboardSimulator can send keys to any Application using keybd_event or SendKeys.

Is there any way to track the application details of MouseSimulator and KeyboardSimulator to create SimulatorTracker Application?

I want to write the Custom Application SimulatorTracker using C++ or C#.

You could try to look into Global Hooks[^].
As the simulation software has to inject mouse movements and keyboard strokes in to the system, it might be possible to catch it with hooks.

Global System Hooks in .NET[^]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I want to know is it possible to know the software or driver which has injected the movements into the system (like Antivirus)?

I don't think so, but I don't know.
Never tried to do something like that.

Is it possible to know which application is having the mouse control?
