I am familiar with C and C++ but everything that I have done to this point has been on Unix in an academic setting.
I have a problem at work that I think a simple program would fix, but I could use a push in the right direction.
Basically, I want to write a program that right clicks a certain spot, then left clicks a 2nd spot twice. That needs to be repeated about 30,000 times.
It seems like an easy program, but I have never done anything for Windows, so a starting point would be nice.
Thanks.
why not just get a macroing program to do that for you?
Try using SetCursorPos and mouse_event.
Code:#include <windows.h>
int main(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 30000; i++)
{
/* Move cursor to screen position 10, 10 */
SetCursorPos(10, 10);
/* Right mouse click. */
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
/* Move cursor to screen position 20, 20 */
SetCursorPos(20, 20);
/* Left mouse click. */
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
/* Pause so mouse clicks are not interpreted as a double click. */
Sleep( GetDoubleClickTime() + 100 );
/* Left mouse click. */
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
/* Pause for action to be processed. */
Sleep(500);
}
return 0;
}
the above program is evil btw.. the only way to stop it was to reboot me' pc... :P
Heehee, I made a program like that once...with a bit of rand thrown in there......and basically, if you run it on windows XP or one of the windows OS's that don't halt when you press control-alt-delete, your puter's screwed. I then put this program in one of my friends' computer's startup directory :rolleyes: and it uber screwed up his puter. Good times....good times.
