can somebody help on this..new to vc++

[Sridhar]

hi i am new to vc++ and i am using vc++6.0. my intention is to create log
file i want to write a program which has to collect all information of mouse
and keyboard events.for ex: if user click on some running application (ex:
vs2005 or sql server 2005)menu item or some button or some tool bar icon.i
want to gather the information like which button it is clicked,which icon is
clicked(in standard tool bar) what is the classname of that button or toolbar
or menu. and i also want to gather the information like text of the menu item
on which it is clicked.

i write some code but i used WH_JOURNALRECORD hook. up to now when the mouse
is clicked i am able to gather the information like classname and text name
of the toolbars(ex:application class name or toolbar class name)but i am not
able to gather the menu name,menu item name(ex:if save is clicked in file
menu i have to gather the information like save menu item is clicked etc)and
which button is clicked on standard tool bar etc.

i am posting the code which i developed, please any one suggest the
modifications in my code and how to collect the remaining information. in my
program WM_SYSCOMMAND is not working i think.is that correct what i wrote?
please help me..

Thanks in advance..
