You could say a Windows app is nothing more than a giant "GetMessage() loop,
if you wanted to. Keyboard input fires Messages, just like all the other
action calls in Windows. When you 'hook' the Message loop, you are adding
behavior to the app.
Tracing that activity (without access to the sorce code) is usually called
'debugging', or "Backwards Engineering". One utility standard to most
complier software is "PView.exe", a tool for viewing the running "Processes".
There are thousands of tools available.
