Hi all. I am using the MS Detours to intercept 4 API functions, DrawText, DrawTextEx, TextOut and ExtTextOut. This is all occurring in a small Unmanaged C++ Dll that I put together (after much Google time, C++ not my forte). From the intercepted functions I call a function that puts together a small COPYDATASTRUCT and ships it off the my main, originating VB.Net app. In the VB.Net app I am retrieving the struct, interpreting and obtaining all text that passes through the target app.
Everything seems to work like a charm for the two DrawText APIs but not for the two TextOut APIs. First off, whenever I close the VB.Net app (WinForm exe) the target app (ANY app, I have tested on countless programs) crashes whenever I hook the TextOut functions. Secondly, all text retrieved from these functions is completely jumbled. Text is perfect from the DrawText functions, and they do not cause errors or crashes (with the TextOut hooks commented out.
Can anybody please direct me to what I may be doing wrong? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated as I have spent weeks scouring Google and the web for an answer.
Code snippets below. Please ask and I will happily provide more info/code.
TIA
