Can't use DirectX::Keyboard::ProcessMessage with SetWindowsHookEx (for low-level global keyboard / WH_KEYBOARD_LL) about directxtk

Why use a 'hook' here instead of just putting it into the application's main WndProc?

[rogueyoshi]

The application is actually a DirectShow Source Filter DLL which uses DX11 (with no reference to a usable WndProc) rather than a standalone app. The global hook is needed so that hotkeys can be detected regardless of program focus.

Also, I should state that any key queryid after the setup is detected as false.

auto kb = m_pDirectXWrapper->GetKeyboardState();
//kb.A for example, would return false even if held.

I'd recommend against using the DirectX Tool Kit Keyboard and Mouse class in a hook scenario. It's just not the intended use case.
