Re: SendInput(), keybd_event() selethd1-Aug-04 16:41 selethd 1-Aug-04 16:41  I tried SendInput() and its not 'root' enough to send a keypress to the games im wanting to work. Anyone ever create somthing or hear of anyone who has created somthing that can insert a keypress to where its inserted at the earliest possible point in the line? Thanks anyway bikram send a keypress to the games im wanting to work bikram singh1-Aug-04 18:05 bikram singh 1-Aug-04 18:05  so you mean you want to sent keystrokes to a game such as Need For Speed and suchlike? Created with the DirectX library? Or do these games run in a DOS window? For DirectX-based games, I dont suppose SendInput() would work, cos DirectX probably works much closer to the keyboard driver, i'm guessing. So, look into MSDN dox on DirectInput... For DOS based games, I havent a clue as to what could be done... maybe a TSR ? Bikram Singh Re: send a keypress to the games im wanting to work selethd3-Aug-04 12:18 selethd 3-Aug-04 12:18  No dos games, only windows, but yes, ones that proably use direct input, so it needs to be very root. Re: Artificial Keyboard for Games Henry miller2-Aug-04 6:18 Henry miller 2-Aug-04 6:18  do a google search for "build your own arcade controls". Also search for MAME. There are a bunch of people into doing things like this, and you will find most of them by some form of the above searches. Their goals are not exactly yours, but they can help you out a lot anyway. For starters why are likely to recomend that you not use the lpt port (though they can tell you how to make it work), as there is hardware designed for this purpose, most likely (but not always) with the drivers you need already made! Just a matter of figuring out what to buy and what to make.

Franc Morales31-Jul-04 14:37 Franc Morales 31-Jul-04 14:37  The standard left and right buttons generate well-known window messages. The wheel does so too. How about the back/forward buttons? Anyone has any idea how to write code to capture events from those two. Be well Re: Events from a 5-button mouse? Michael Dunn31-Jul-04 14:50 Michael Dunn 31-Jul-04 14:50  There are new messages that deal with events for all buttons from #4 on, like WM_XBUTTONDOWN, WM_XBUTTONUP, etc. --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ ---- I even hear the Windows "OMG I booted up fine" sound.   -- Paul Watson diagnosing hardware problems. Spy++ or WM_XBUTTONDOWN ? bikram singh31-Jul-04 14:58 bikram singh 31-Jul-04 14:58  Is WM_XBUTTONDOWN what you need ? Never used a 5 button mouse, so im shooting in the dark here... Best way is probably to fire-up Spy++ on some app's instance, and press the 4/5th buttons n' see what Spy++ shows you... Bikram Singh WM_XBUTTONDOWN undeclared identifier Franc Morales31-Jul-04 16:01 Franc Morales 31-Jul-04 16:01  Thank you both. I have try to implement the WM_XBUTTONDOWN through PreTranslateMessage but the message itself is undeclared and aborts compilation. It should be obvious but the documentation is taking me nowhere. Any thoughts? You've old SDK files; Google it bud... bikram singh31-Jul-04 16:18 bikram singh 31-Jul-04 16:18  You need a newer version of the SDK files. Give Google a try sometime! #define WM_XBUTTONDOWN 0x020B #define WM_XBUTTONUP 0x020C #define WM_XBUTTONDBLCLK 0x020D #define MK_XBUTTON1 0x0020 #define MK_XBUTTON2 0x0040 Bikram Singh Thank you Bikram Franc Morales31-Jul-04 17:21 Franc Morales 31-Jul-04 17:21  I'll give google a try, worry not Thanks again Bikram, you are the man. Be well.

If I press shortcut_2 I like to copy the actual data from my application and paste it into the actual excel cell. How to I automate Excel to achive my goals. Thank you Mario Re: Excel &lt;-&gt; Application clipboard data transfer Anonymous31-Jul-04 13:41 Anonymous 31-Jul-04 13:41  I think visual basic would allow you to achieve your goals more easily. vb6 is the best to use, you can create extended functions to their tools to improve their use-ability. If you have bought microsoft visual studio package, you'll find it with that. having trouble with if statements ;-) namethatnooneelsetook31-Jul-04 10:25 namethatnooneelsetook 31-Jul-04 10:25  char open[80];<br /> <br /> cin >> open;<br /> <br /> if(open != "!")<br /> {<br /> // Do something here<br /> } when I type ! for open it still does whatever is in the if statement...

Using open simply uses the poitner to the start of the array.
