## Project Architecture
2019-03-13 11:54:19 -04:00
The host (see GUI/host folder) injects texthook.dll (created from the texthook folder) into the target process and connects to it via 2 pipe files.< br >
Host writes to hostPipe, texthook writes to hookPipe.< br >
texthook waits for the pipe to be connected, then injects a few instructions into any text outputting functions (e.g. TextOut, GetGlyphOutline) that cause their input to be sent through the pipe.< br >
2019-05-27 14:16:29 -04:00
Additional information about hooks is exchanged via shared memory.< br >
2018-11-04 01:41:39 -04:00
The text that the host receives through the pipe is then processed a little before being dispatched back to the GUI.< br >
Finally, the GUI dispatches the text to extensions before displaying it.
