    Unhappy Last try, then i quit...

    I've been looking all over the play trying to figure this out!
    This is how the program will work:
    Starts and runs in backround... Win32 App (I use visual c++ 6)
    Counts 35 seconds... and then whereever the cursor is... is clicks
    Like you click the mouse but automatically and on the computer...
    and then like a while loop that never stops (which is easy and i know how to do)
    If you can please help me...

    Thanks,
    ~Silencer~

    No offense, but this sounds a little sketchy to me.

    Sound like a virus. A cheesy virus but a virus none the less.

    Why would you want to cause the user's mouse to click at a random position?

    *slaps you*

    Code:
    sleep(3500);
    that should sleep about 35 seconds.

    Sleep() halts program function. Shouldn't use it.

    Actually *slaps you* that would pause for 3,5 seconds.

    Sleep(35000); // now THIS would do the thing

    Actually, sleep() is good to use if you want to be multi-tasking friendly. When you call sleep you are giving other applications time to perform code, without a sleep() anywhere in your code you take more cpu cycles.

    By sketchy, I meant the program sounded like it was going to be a virus.

    just a follow up, i was reading about your sleep(), and actually my question is based on different programming languages...... doesn't sleep depend on the speed of the cpu........???

    well, anyway couple languages different than c++ worked like that ......"the faster the processor the less time it takes for the sleep() to terminate"

    hmmmmmm????

    Not necessarily. Most implementations of sleep will use the system time as a base, so saying sleep ( 35000 ); will cause a program on any system to sleep for 35 seconds, regardless of processor speed. Something like this:
    Code:
    void sleep ( long m )
    {
      clock_t limit, cl = clock();
      limit = cl + m;
      while ( limit > cl )
        cl = clock();
    }
    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    do a search for fakesurf, it has the capabilities to do what you want it to do (i use it all the time to keep Netzero from disconnecting me :))
