Can I use this to modify the microsoft office dialog or is it just to make a dialog in a new custom app ? windows/win32/shell/samples-commonfiledialog

Thank you, I have been researching this further. I don't think the link I included is applicable to Vista+ Common Item Dialogs, which are now COM objects. Since the COM dialogs use the standard class (#32770) how would you differentiate them from any other dialog in the hook? Can you help me with the syntax for the hook? I've also realized this is akin to malware and I'm having great difficulty finding help and instructions so I appreciate any input. I am trying to create a file management system for a small business.

I should have mentioned that I do have this low level keyboard hook working as a prototype, so I'm just asking for help with a little syntax to identify the dialog boxes.

#include <Windows.h>  
#include <iostream>  
LRESULT CALLBACK KBHook(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)  
{  
    KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT *s = reinterpret_cast<KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT *>(lParam);  
    switch (wParam)  
    {case WM_KEYDOWN:  
        char c = MapVirtualKey(s->vkCode, MAPVK_VK_TO_CHAR);  
        std::cout << c << std::endl;  
        break;  
    }  
    return CallNextHookEx(NULL, nCode, wParam, lParam);  
}  
int main()  
{  
    std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;  
  
    HHOOK kbd = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD_LL, &KBHook, 0, 0);  
  
    MSG message;  
    while (GetMessage(&message, NULL, NULL, NULL) > 0)  
    {  
        TranslateMessage(&message);  
        DispatchMessage(&message);  
    }  
  
    UnhookWindowsHookEx(kbd);  
  
    return 0;  
}
