How Can I Use The Spacebar Event To Play/Pause A Audio/Video File In C++

So, i want to try this program. I wrote this if statement and the user is given the option of entering either 1 or 0. Before i run the program, i open a video or an audio. Now, when i run my program, it will ask me enter either 1 or 0. If i enter 1 then the audio/video pauses(basically hit the space bar) and if i enter 0 then the audio/video plays(hits the space bar again). How do i do this part?

I tried the following code:

C++

if(c==1)
{
    keybd_event(VK_SPACE, 0X45, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY|0, 0);
}
else
{
    keybd_event(VK_SPACE, 0X45, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY|0, 0);
}

I got this code online in a blog and tried it but it doesnt work.

And you think that we can give you a "convincing" answer based on "doesnt work"? Do you also call your mechanic on the phone and say "car broke" and expect that he know exactly what your problem is? The answer is go back to the place where you got this code and ask whomever wrote it why it doesn't work.
