That's exactly what it is supposed to give you. This hook type is
intended to be used to record user input. The only hook types that
would be able to trap a send message like WM_CLOSE would be
WH_CALLWNDPROC and its cousing WH_CALLWNDPROCRET, but those are not
hooks you want to use globally, they get a *lot* of messages and are a
drain on the system performance. Investigate WH_SHELL or WH_CBT hooks
if you want to get notified on window creation and destruction.
I'm just happy that all this hook nonsense will basically go away with
Vista....
