Program to execute keyboard commands

[odin607]

What would code look like for a program that just hit a key over and over in C?

(basically how would code a program to press a key as if it was manually pressed)

If the os is windows i would try PostMessage to send a WM_Key message.

whats the code look like for it? im very unfamiliar with it, i looked up the syntax but kinda blew over my head

Is this an mfc program or sdk?

If its mfc just enter :: and begin typing PostMessage and intellisense should tell you the parameters you need.

Its been some time since i used this, sorry.

i dont know C++, i should have specified C

however if anyone can give me the C++ code to do it (and any other sort of libraries or whatever else is needed) i wouldnt mind using it at all

program i use is ms visual studio 2008


i tried the :: then looked through the options, theres no postmessage.. i assumed cause i didnt load a library (not sure which to load.. since i dont know C++)

u need to include winuser.h.
i think the rule of the forum is we arent supposed to give out code unless the poster makes some kind of stab at it themseleves.
