hook keyboard and mouse in office com addin

[Shinya]

I am trying to hook keyboard and mouse input event using
SetWindowsHookEx to check word.ActiveDocument.saved flag
to know if word document has been modified in my office com addin

inside of IDTExtensibility2_OnConnection, i am calling the function like the
following
m_hDllmseHook = SetWindowsHookEx WH_MOUSE_LL, AddressOf MouseProc,
App.hInstance, 0&)

however, mouse move gets too slow when checking saved flag


Public Function MouseProc(ByVal uCode As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal
lParam As Long) As Long

If uCode = HC_ACTION Then
If wParam = WM_LBUTTONDOWN Then
CheckStatus 'check word.activedocument.saved flag here
End If
End If

MouseProc = CallNextHookEx(m_hDllmseHook, uCode, wParam, lParam)

End Function

is there something I can do about this?

Why do you want to check word.ActiveDocument.saved flag on mouse events??
Wouldn't it be better to do so if the user is closing the document or
similar?

I want to enable my addin button when document is modified.

Let me see if I understand. You want to check if the document has been
modified whenever the mouse button is pressed. If it is you will
enable/disable something. Can't you use a timer instead and check every x:th
second?

That is perfect solution.
I am a bit upset of not coming up with a simple solution like you do.
Anywas, you save my day.

Thanks again,
