simulating key with c++

Hi I need help with the use of doing simulating key press. I've been to MSDN and seen what they said about it, but I dont fully get it what they are showing me. I know this sites good at showing/telling the use of code so I am hoping.

getch()

Here is a few example programs of it's use by moi.

Thanks i'll take a look at thes.

Oh... no this is not what I am talking about. Thes see what you type then echo it back. What I want to do is simulat a keypress like a marco with my programe, so that it types out on other programs also.

On Windows, something like this:

Code:

---

keybd_event( VK_RETURN, 0, 0, 0 );
keybd_event( VK_RETURN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 );

---

?

keybd_event
On NT, 2000, and XP, you're supposed to use SendInput function, but I never could figure out how to use it.

Ya I seen that used but I cant figer it out my self. Trying to understand it with NSMD but their way of showing is a little not thereXD.

How about google?

LOL, yes, I did try that. I also try yahoo. I dont get much help on thos that great.

You're trying to figure out how SendInput works?

Try searching this board: http://cboard.cprogramming.com/searc...earchid=289138.

Maybe codeplug's links at the end of this thread.

LOL goo thinkingXD i'm looking at like 20 websits for thisXD My head isnt thinking very good.

Ok I found some new stuff on it and that I get with more working with the code. I'll check it out how ppl are setting it up on theirs and try to work with it for my use. Thanks^.^

Hi again, sorry I didnt want to make another post on this seeing as its the same thing as befor. Ok i've been almost everwhere trying to learn this:) I mean I dont have a problem ;) LOL, but i've seem some differnt ways on how to simulate a key pressing. Like keybd_event() I can get this one, i've also seen SendInput(), SendMessage() and PostSendMessage () ,or something like that. I didnt see on much like how to use them tho, what I mean is, go in detail on them mostly. Yes i've look them up, but I had no luck on it much for how to use them. I was just asking if maybe someone could help me on the details a little on them or maybe make a little examples on them so I can see how to use them mostly.

For keybd_event() I got this working ok.

Code:

---

        keybd_event(0x53,
        0,
        0,
        0);
        keybd_event(0x53,
        0,
        KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,
        0);

---

It simulates a "s" key, but even then I dont know much on whats going on in it. I do get most of it, like the top part is pressing the key then the botten part "un"press the key. The 0's I dont know much on tho. Sorry I dont mean to ask something so hug, I just like understand what something does befor using it really.
