Im trying to make a program that simulates mouse and key presses so that any program that has the focus gets those key/mouse presses.
Im thinking of pushing simulated key presses into the windows message pump, but i dont know how to do that.
Can any of you guys point me to any tutorials, examples, or books that have this information.
I was looking at something similar a while ago to throw a console window into fullscreen but didn't turn up much information. I'd just google for a few phrases - see what you turn up.

keybd_event function may be of some use to you (assuming you use windows).
Yes im using windows.
This might be good for the keyboard events, but Im also interested in synthisizing mouse movements, clicks, etc.
guyonasm sent you a link to keybd_event, for keyboard input... now, for mouse input, look up... (drumroll) "mouse_event"
Though personally, I've never used either. While I've never simulated mouse input, I have done keyboard, but I did it by sending WM_CHAR messages to the target window. (Though this might be application dependant, I don't know...)
Thanks guys, this helps alot.
I have one question tho. when simulating a mouse/keyboard will DirectInput get these messages aswell? Because i do know directInput gets its input a little differently then the regular message pump.
