So you want to swap keys around, for example the user presses 'INSERT', 'A' is pressed instead? You don't need to use SendInput, it's much simpler to use keybd_event, so you can change that case...

Misread the question, but that's still a great way to detect keypresses, the rest shouldn't be hard.

Really not the best way to detect keystrokes, I'd suggest a Windows hook, because you can actually change what the output of that key will be. For example, here's how you could turn the Space bar...

Good (: You can flag the thread as solved at the bottom.

I edited my post maybe before you tried that code, try again. There's no reason why that function shouldn't work, if it still doesn't work, show me the code you're using.

Either turn UNICODE off, or change the code to:#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

void saveCaption(HWND hwnd, TCHAR *filename) {
int...

Wouldn't usually give away code, but it's just so small.#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

void saveCaption(HWND hwnd, char *filename) {
...

Got it working with objects and bitmaps, I think with some optimizations I could use this to make some neat games :)

Another really nice effect using this method :icon_smile:

Here's a speed test :) mine stays at about 480fps with only 2-3% CPU.

Quite a while ago, I made this (http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet217147.html) snippet. This code is basically the same, except that it adds animation.

This method of blitting is very fast...

Of course Win32 Gurus would use the Win32 API, it's what they're good at, that doesn't mean it's the best thing to use.

Qt is multi-platform, whereas the Windows API isn't, if the platform doesn't...

Check variables that you allocated memory on, and make sure you deleted it somewhere else in the code. If you forget to free any memory, that's a memory leak.

Oops, sorry AD :icon_eek: that was supposed to be +rep!

Any useless junk that's there would have been a result of your programming, the generated assembly is pretty efficient.

C++ isn't really decompilable, it's possible to turn the machine code back to C-Instructions with meaningless variable names, but nobody will get anywhere with a 10000 line program.

Now you know another, my entire personal library is wrapped in a number of namespaces, without them it would be chaos.

I made a little snippet that allows you to directly access the pixels and save it as a .bmp. [link] (http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet217147.html) I've simplified it a little for you.#include...

Then make a new file, copy only the content you need from the first one, delete the first file, and rename the second file.

Yes, but to draw to it you need its HDC. This kind of drawing with the Windows API is hell, I'd say if it's possible, use a graphics library, if not you might be spending a while trying to get it to...

You will have to create a temporary surface to draw on for that one line, and when you release the mouse, it copies that surface to the main one.

In version 8, you can just do it from the dialog interface, scroll down to the 'Menu' option, and select the name of the menu you created (view screenshot)

If you can't do that, you could edit the...

He didn't write the code, nor does he understand it, so he's asking for someone to baby him through each line.

No, nobody is going to explain that badly formatted C code to you which should have been wrapped in code-tags. You clearly didn't write it, so what I suggest you do is learn how to program, buy a...

Well, C++ can compile almost any C code, except for a few minors differences. Post the code and I'll see.

Your condition for that loop is:(s[i] != '\0') || (s[i] != ' ')Now think, is there any way that expression will ever be false in order to break out the loop? If s is a null-terminator, the loop wont...

Pretty much, if you want to use the Win32 API, the code will look very similar to C, but that's why they made MFC.

I had never even heard of a negative base until you said that, I looked it up and it seems interesting. But, this function already uses a sign to represent negative numbers, maybe I could make a...

Here's a function that manually converts an integer to any base between 2 and 36, the parameter list is:
void toBase(
int value, // Integer value to convert
char *target, // Pointer to a...

I'll stick with just the code please ;)

It's worth a shot, just copy the project, delete unneeded compiler generated files, zip it and attach here :)

Obviously the use of arrays here has made this very confusing, maybe it's possibly to do without, I don't know. But all I can suggest is to try using global variables and message notifications too,...

So let me get this right, you basically have an array of hWnd's which all link to the same event handler, but you want to do different things with each of them in the messengerBox dialog when it's...

Can't say I do, hWnd will hold the handle to the window being used, so can't you just write:ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_HIDE);If not, you will have to clarify :P

Posting / Attaching the whole code would...

What's this? You just supplied an entire program when all he wanted was help on one case.

Perhaps the PlaySound (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa909766.aspx) function?
PlaySound("H:\\sissys.mp3", NULL, SND_FILENAME);

What are the errors?

Depends on so many things, it could take a month if you did it intensively, or a year or two if you do it as a hobby every once in a while.

I know.. that's what I said. By the way, don't use void main, use int main, and use code-tags when posting.

My best advice for you right now is to learn how to program before you try anything big. Read books, tutorials, whatever.
If you plan on doing this in Windows, you should try this tutorial [link]...
