SharpHook.Reactive 1.0.0-preview.2

SharpHook.Reactive

SharpHook is a library which provides a cross-platform global keyboard and mouse hook for .NET. It is a thin wrapper of libuiohook and provides direct access to its features as well as a higher-level interface and classes to work with it.

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 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);

await hook.Start();

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:

• SimpleReactiveGlobalHook runs the hook on a separate thread. Since we are dealing with observables, it's up to you to decide when and where to handle the events through schedulers.

• ReactiveGlobalHookAdapter adapts an IGlobalHook to IReactiveGlobalHook. All subscriptions and changes are propagated to the adapted hook.
