Wanted: WinAPI calls logger

Question

There was an "API Monitor" program, but it seems discontinued. Doesn't work on my system. Is there any such tool, which can work on Windows 7 x64? I need to log API calls from a selected set, better when parameter values.

Answer 1

I use the API Monitor tool at http://www.rohitab.com/apimonitor. It's not abandoned, the author seems to be releasing regular updates including some from the past year. I found it relatively easy to learn, and have used it to discover API calls made by some components of Windows that I was studying, among other debugging tasks.

Answer 2

Heres is an list of such tools: http://www.woodmann.com/collaborative/tools/index.php/Category:API_Monitoring_Tools. You could try the first one, its OpenSource and was last updated this year: http://jacquelin.potier.free.fr/winapioverride32/

Edit: You could try this one for x64 http://www.autodebug.com/

Answer 3

There's also Detours, free from Microsoft, it's a library to hook the windows API, but it's not a complete monitor program, you have to do some work to intercept the API calls.
