    Macro Prog

    hi im trying to make a macro program. im trying to do it in notepad so when i press a button in my program it outputs the string

    <newline begin macro x=f s=5 y=10>

    I just realize I could make this easyer if i just pressed a key while in notepad.

    so how do i listen to keystrokes from a certian window? so im in notebad and I press F4, how do I detect that with my macro program?

    You should take a look at GetAsyncKeyState() or SetWindowsHookEx.

    GetForegroundWindow() returns the handle of the current active window, so you could compare it's return value to the handle you have.
