API Hook?

Hi,

How to realize about hooking a specified function in PB?
for Example, hook a MCI call to my own Media playing function.

Instead of playing CD Audio Tracks, I want to replace it with
playing OGG, is it a complex job?

Thanks.

My company (Skunksoft) has a library in-the-works that can do just that... It will intercept any function in the same address space as your program and rout it to your own version of the function... It can also do things like inject a DLL into a running process. With these two techniques applied together, it is possible to write a program that hooks all calls to a function made by all programs on the host computer...

Right now this project is low on our priority list...
If there is enough interest from people on this forum, we will consider finishing it up and releasing it in the comming weeks...

It seems there's not a lot of interest?...
It will still get released sooner or later
