If you are talking about SetWindowsHookEx, then WH_CALLWNDPROC[RET]
hooks see all messages.

Do {
if (you are familiar with Windows) {
you will not try to use hook to log all application;
break;
}
you need months and years to be familiar with Windows;
} while (true);

Nope. Like many Microsoft applications (including all of the Office apps),
Visual Studio uses custom user interface components that do not necessarily
use the normal window message schemes.

I guess you need to come up with another plan. If you need to automate
Visual Studio, there are ways to do that with plugins and such, but there's
no such thing as a generic solution.
