Code!

I feel dirty · 2008-02-07 13:55

Supai is a window creation logger for Windows(tm). It can log the creation (or destruction) of any window while filtering out uninteresting data using the PCRE library. It logs both window title and class, and can filter on both of these attributes.

I can't believe there's actually an API to inject code into another running process and hijack it's event loop!

At any rate, writing code for Windows(tm) is a major pain in the arse. What a platform. What an API. What a mess! I feel sorry for those programmers who are all about Microsoft. Poor bastards clearly don't know they're alive!

But perhaps I've just been spoilt rotten by the clearly superior POSIX APIs that Linux implements, and things like GTK and Xlib.
