Thatsgreat2345 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I was wondering if anyone knew how to do a keypress with C or C++, ive been searching google and i still havent really found anything, i found a thing called button.h to include but i looked at it and i dont think i could use any of the functions, so do any one in here that knows C++ or C know how to make something do a key press?
greenmachine Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Look in the source code, it's in there. Appears to be a lot of pre-send checking (special keys, etc), keyboard modification to match special keys, and then postmessage. It's in the file sendkeys.cpp if you want to look for yourself.
Emperor Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Check out the keybd_event() API. Pretty sure this is what you need.
Richard Robertson Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 If you are using an updated SDK, the help file will direct you to SendInput. SendInput is a little better because it also sends mouse and hardware messages.
Thatsgreat2345 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Posted April 4, 2006 yeah cuz i tryed the button.h stuff , and it was detected by the game i was playing so maybe sendinput will work
