SharpHook.Reactive

SharpHook provides a cross-platform global keyboard and mouse hook, event simulation, and text entry simulation for .NET. It is a wrapper of libuiohook and provides direct access to its features as well as higher-level types to work with it.

If you're using Rx.NET, you can use the SharpHook.Reactive package to integrate SharpHook with Rx.NET.

Reactive Global Hooks

SharpHook.Reactive provides the IReactiveGlobalHook interface along with a default implementation and an adapter which you can use to use to control the global hook and subscribe to its observables. Here's a basic example:

using SharpHook.Reactive; // ... var hook = new SimpleReactiveGlobalHook(); hook.HookEnabled.Subscribe(OnHookEnabled); hook.HookDisabled.Subscribe(OnHookDisabled); hook.KeyTyped.Subscribe(OnKeyTyped); hook.KeyPressed.Subscribe(OnKeyPressed); hook.KeyReleased.Subscribe(OnKeyReleased); hook.MouseClicked.Subscribe(OnMouseClicked); hook.MousePressed.Subscribe(OnMousePressed); hook.MouseReleased.Subscribe(OnMouseReleased); hook.MouseMoved .Throttle(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5)) .Subscribe(OnMouseMoved); hook.MouseDragged .Throttle(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5)) .Subscribe(OnMouseDragged); hook.MouseWheel.Subscribe(OnMouseWheel); hook.Run(); // or hook.RunAsync().Subscribe();

Reactive global hooks are basically the same as the default global hooks and the same rules apply to them.

SharpHook.Reactive provides two implementations of IReactiveGlobalHook:

• SharpHook.Reactive.SimpleReactiveGlobalHook. Since we're dealing with observables, it's up to you to decide when and where to handle the events through schedulers. A default scheduler can be specified for all observables.

• SharpHook.Reactive.ReactiveGlobalHookAdapter adapts an IGlobalHook to IReactiveGlobalHook. All subscriptions and changes are propagated to the adapted hook. There is no default adapter from to . A default scheduler can be specified for all observables.
