Hitting the P key will make the current tool being used the Pencil tool. While pixeling, you have to constanly move your mouse from the left of the screen to select the pencil, eyedropper, rectangle selection, circle, etc. it just takes forever and I'm trying to write a program that will map hotkeys to the keyboard so that if you press P the pencil will become your current tool and if you press E the eyedropper will become the current tool. It just...

Microsoft Paint Simulated Mouse Click

Hello everyone

I'm trying to write a program in native c++ code that will do this:

When drawing in MS Paint and I press the P key on the keyboard, the Pencil tool will become the current tool.

I really want to stay away from installing drivers, injecting dlls, reverse engineering, and many other complex things to do such an easy task.

Normally, this would be easy but the Pencil tool in MS...

Handling keyboard input

Hi everyone.

For the past day I've been trying to find a good way to handle keyboard input.

Naturally, I wanted to just use WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP to handle my events, but they proven to have limitations. In my game there was a keyboard delay. If you pressed and held down the right arrow key, the character would move one pixel to the right, stop, then continue moving. I wanted the character to immediately start moving...

Passing variable to the WindowProcedure

Without creating global variables, is there a way to pass variables to the WindowProcedure that handles the messages?

For example, if I create a variable and initialize it in WinMain, is there any way to use it in my WindowProcedure ?

What I am doing is this. I have a class called Map. I also have a class called Texture and Window.

When I create Texture and Window, certain variables are created such as...

The best way to render in Direct3D 9

I've been working on this for a couple days now. I'm really looking for the best way to render. Nothing too complicated but something that is fast, reliable, and powerful. I've seen many websites and about each one shows a different way. I've probably gone through about 5 different ways so far. But I'm really looking for a good, reliable one and I don't think I have found it yet.

I'm looking for a way that if the game is minimized,...

SendKeys in C++

Hello everyone,

Is there an equivalent to SendKeys.Send in C++? I have looked into keybd_event and SendInput, but to my knowledge you can only send one key at a time with those functions.

Thanks for any help.

Edit: I'm not using the .Net Framework so I can't use any of that stuff.

C++ Direct3D in the taskbar

If I launch my DirectX program, full-screen initializes. If I alt tab out of it, it alt-tabs as normal. However, if I then maximize it so it has the focus of my computer again and then alt-tab for the second time, the window doesn't minimize. The taskbar shows up but the program doesn't minimize. It's like, the first time I alt tab it works perfectly normal but then second time I do it, it doesn't work. Anyone know why? I would really like to fix...

How come, whenever I use a resource, I have to define it as an integral and call the integer's value to use it?

For example, I have this:

Code:

Then I define it like this:

Code:

I can use this in my main.cpp like this:

Can I do this? I'm importing the PNG files this way:

IDI_MYLOGIN PNG "myFile.png"

Why do I want to use BitBlt? It's the only way I know of drawing onto a win32 application. Also, I want to be able to draw another picture on it, with transparency, so you can see both images. Not opacified, just layered.
