Moving Mouse Pointer

anyone knows how to move the mouse cursor with the keyboard?

go to Control Panel and click on Accessibility Options. click on the Mouse tab. check Use MouseKeys. on the NumPad, 8 moves pointer up. 2 moves it down. 4 to the left. 6 to the right. 7 up and to left. 9 up and to right. 1 down and to left. 3 down and to right. / make all mouse clicks left button. - make all mouse clicks right button. 0 click and hold. . release click and hold. + double click. 5 single click.

Hehe :-)) I meant how to move the mouse with the keyboard, in C++ :-))

Thanks for your reply anyway!!!

If anyone knows how to control my mouse with the keyboard, in C++, please, post here...

this should do it,

Code:

---


#include <conio.h>
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude Extra Windows Crap
#define WIN32_EXTRA_LEAN // Exclude More Windows Crap
#include <windows.h>

void MoveCursorWithKeyboard(void)
{
    POINT p;
    GetCursorPos(&p);
    char c;
    // Use whatever method you need to get the keys
    // getch is just a function that gets the arrow keys so i use it here
    c = getch();
    if(c == 'M') // Right Arrow Key
        p.x += 1;  // Move Cursor Right
    if(c == 'K') // Left Arrow Key
        p.x -= 1;  // Move Cursor Left
    if(c == 'H') // Up Arrow Key
        p.y += 1;  // Move Cursor Up
    if(c == 'P') // Down Arrow KEy
        p.y -= 1;  // Move Cursor Down

    SetCursorPos(p.x,p.y);
}

Hi there!

I get this when I compile it:
--------------------Configuration: Cppfasddsfsd2 - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
Cppfasddsfsd2.cpp
Linking...
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/Cppfasddsfsd2.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

Cppfasddsfsd2.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Any ideas?

If you are using VC++ 6.0 you would need to specify that it is a Windows 32 Application or MFC Application, not a Console application. Check to see if this is what it is saved as, otherwise the compiler won't recognise or validate WinMain(). Try saving it as a .c file if you are not making just a Win32 app. hth.

it was ment as a stand alone function that you could use in any program, heres a complete example

Code:

---


#include <conio.h>
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude Extra Windows Crap
#define WIN32_EXTRA_LEAN // Exclude More Windows Crap
#include <windows.h>

void MoveCursorWithKeyboard(char& c)
{
    POINT p;
    GetCursorPos(&p);
    // Use whatever method you need to get the keys
    // getch is just a function that gets the arrow keys so i use it here
    c = getch();
    if(c == 'M') // Right Arrow Key
        p.x += 1;  // Move Cursor Right
    if(c == 'K') // Left Arrow Key
        p.x -= 1;  // Move Cursor Left
    if(c == 'H') // Up Arrow Key
        p.y += 1;  // Move Cursor Up
    if(c == 'P') // Down Arrow KEy
        p.y -= 1;  // Move Cursor Down

    SetCursorPos(p.x,p.y);
}

int main()
{
        char c;
        while(c != 'q')
        {
                MoveCursorWithKeyboard(c);
        }

        return 0;
}

thank you a lot :) it's working perfectly :D

but you could also have it working with the arrows and Windows by putting handlers for the WM_KEYDOWN message, and make a switch statement with cases for VK_UP, VK_DOWN, VK_LEFT and VK_RIGHT
