converting VBA password-masking code to 64-bit

What's more important when running for political office? Image on television or policy stance?

Hi all,

I promise I'm not the guy that cross-posted a related question ~twenty times on this topic. Even after all of those posts though, a straightforward answer was not revealed (at least it wasn't clear to me). I simply need a nudge in the right direction. I can't figure out why the statement in red below causes Excel to crash and close.

In the process of troubleshooting, I switched hHook to long (and changed SetWindowsHookEx output to long and lngModHwnd to long after being prompted to do so by the compiler) to see what would happen. The program no longer crashed at the red line, but the program did not enter the masking routine either (did not jump into the NewProc_64 function).

I'm sure I just have some of the variables and parameters declared incorrectly as long when they should be longptr and vice versa. I probably also should be using LongLong in some places, but I'm not certain how to implement that.

I found examples of all the API declaration statements written to work in the 64-bit Office environment on a few sites. I'm pretty sure they are correct, but I can't be absolutely certain.

Thanks very much for any help you can provide!

Mike
