Using PyHook to record mouse events, one has to add quite a few lines to set up
a hook, and as far as I have experienced, if one uses time.sleep() or some
other function that spends some time doing something, the program freezes my
computer completely while doing this (the cursor starts moving slowly, and so
on).
Also: Ctrl+c does not work, I have to click the cross to exit the program,
which is horrible when combined with the freezing mentioned earlier.
Is there a way to avoid the program freezing up? Using the win32api somehow,
rather than PyHook? (I only know how to generate input with win32api, not catch
output).
import pythoncom, pyHook
class record(object):
def OnMouseEvent(self, event):
print 'MessageName:',event.MessageName
print 'Message:',event.Message
print 'Time:',event.Time
print 'Window:',event.Window
print 'WindowName:',event.WindowName
print 'Position:',event.Position
print 'Wheel:',event.Wheel
print 'Injected:',event.Injected
print '---'
#time.sleep(1) #If I uncomment this, running the program will freeze stuff, as
mentioned earlier.
return True
recordit = record()
hm = pyHook.HookManager()
hm.MouseAll = recordit.OnMouseEvent
hm.HookMouse()
pythoncom.PumpMessages()
