Question about win32 hooks.

[Gonen]

Hello ,
I did a program that capture the picture from the clipboard(if there is one)
and saves it into a BMP file.

I want to do now that my program will do it when I press print screen for example
now, I know that I need to read on win32 hooks,
But there is so much information on it,
and I don't think I need all the information on win32 hooks...

Humm,,
Anyone can give me a specific information on which hook I need or something?

or if somebody did something like that before and can write something that will help me , I will be grateful


thanks for the helpers.
