Change buttons...

[XunTric]

I want to change some buttons because my keybord is stupid.
The button which is supposed to be Keypad 0 is "insert".

I know I can change this in my controll pannel somewhere, but just to learn I want to make a program to change this instead =)

So how would I go on changing buttons?

Note:
If you readed some of my other posts, this NOT for the "virus" that I was gonna mess with my friend.

Doesnt work to change insert to keypad 0 with num lock for me...
So how do I change buttons?
Even if you know how to fix it just tell me.

If you have an American keyboard (others might work the same way, I don't know) all you have to do is toggle the Numlock key and it will toggle to 0 key between 0 and INS. If you don't believe it, load Notepad (or some other text editor) and try it. Hit the 0 key when Numock is on, then turn Numlock off and hit it again. It that doesn't work then you need to trashcan you keyboard and buy a new one because that feature is standard on all keyboards that have keypads. (I havn't really tried all 10Million keyboards, so I'm doing a little guessing there).

I got a norwegian keyboard.
Well it actually works when I tryed in notepad, but it doesnt in counter-strike
(With many cs cheats you need to press insert to get the cheat menu)
But anyway, just tell me how to change buttons/make hotkeys

counter-strike is probably the problem. In that case there is not much you can do about it. If you want a 0, use the 0 on the number row (top row) of the standard keyboard keys.

But one of this has anything at all to do with C or C++ programming -- it isn't a programming issue, but you just learning how to use your keyboard.

If you want to change buttons and keys inside a MS-Windows program that YOU are writing, that is a different story.

Yes I just want to know how to change the buttons with MY CODE.
Like change the "b" button to "Ancient Dragon".
Please tell me how to do that and forget about the insert and kp 0....

that cannot be easily done. when you press a key, the keyboard driver sends an event to your application program that contains the key and scancode (see MSDN for WM_KEYDOWN event description). How your program catches that event depends on how you write your program. If the program is win32 api only, then handle it in the window's WinProc() function. Here is a good tutorial.
