Hook a program? Possible?

[dubcanada]

Hello,

I was wondering if this is even possible. To somehow hook into a program, type something into the console (/joingame 43.32.32.32) or something and maximize the program. Basically so you can click a game on a list and join it. Something like old KaliNET.

Read MSDN and Petzold about kbd input, and you'll do it yourself in 2 minutes, as it's a basic task...

u can only hook APIs , but if hook the DirectX APIs u can probably do what u ask (even more)

take a look at this:

That is not entirely true. There are several types of hooking and API Hooking is one of them but not the only one. You can successfully hook other applications' functions but this would require dll injection, code interception as well as reverse engineering knowledge which the OP clearly doesn't have, so for him I think a good place to start would be a forum like Game Deception for hooking Counter-strike - like games there are many tutorials over there.
