Send keyboard event
« on: December 29, 2011, 03:12:33 pm »
Is it possible to send keyboard event to other programs?

If i press ctrl+num1 it should write "hello" in notepad.exe or something like that...

Thanks.

inteface the windows api and use sendmessage

something like;

Hwnd Hwnd;

Hwnd = findwindow (notepad, Classnamenotepad

THen you get the children , i forget, enum children or then use findwindowEx to ge tthe editbox

hw  = findwindowEx(hwnd, editboxclass)

then sendmessage(hw , "text'. CONST_FOR_WRITING);


just google "sendmessage notepad example"

No, with SFML you can't open other applications. It's a multimedia library ;)

Thor Library: particle systems, animations, dot products, ...
