Insomniac420 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) So this question its a little embarrassing because it so simple but I would like to know 100%. So I know there is 3 to 4 types of possibilities for simulating keys. There is of course Autoit's built in send function and control send, and win api post message, and dllcall from user32.dll, and possibly something about creating a key board driver and using a dllcall now my question is am I missing any other types and also can you please clarify how Autoit's send command and control send work I mean are they the same as a dll call from user32.dll or same as a winapi post message, or are they completely different? Any ways sorry if this is a waist of your time and i know its a noob question but i like to get a good answer. By the way here is my app Auto_Clicker_App in which i will be allowing the user to check box what type of send function works best for them. Thank you for your time.

Insomniac420 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) No. SendInput. Respectively. Just lol john. So by saying "No" you mean I did list all the possible ways to simulate keys and by saying "Sendinput" you mean Autoit's built in func to send and control send just work by using WINApI SendInput()? TY for the answer but i feel you did not explain your answer. That brings another question to light WINApI SendInput() is that the lowest-level keyboard simulation besides creating a keyboard driver and using a dll call?

jchd Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 AutoIt is closed-source, so neither you or I have the faintest idea about how things are actually implemented in a particular release (which may change without notice over time). The real question is: why do you feel the need to know, or put otherwise: which problem do you want to solve?

The real question is: why do you feel the need to know, or put otherwise: which problem do you want to solve? I was going to allow the users of my app to have a check box that would allow them to choose the type of send function that works best for them. So if send() doesn't work for them they can try others. And if Autoit's send already uses win api post message it would be a waist of time to give them both options. But i think JohnOne is right Autoit uses SendInput. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 As a suggestion: If the user tries to use it with an application that blocks such things you may want to put in a disclaimer on your GUI.
