George, This does not display messages. This sends messages to Sysinternals Process monitor (ProcMon.exe), a tool that display network, file and registry activity.
The advantage of sending the messages here instead of the kernel DebugOutput mechanism (where DbgView or other can pick them up) is the messages would be displayed inline with file, network and registry access. ProcMon receives and displays the messages.Wintellect's unmnaged dll send messages to procmon. I don't need to actually use wintellects DLL. I can do it entirely with PInvoke though.
