Mouse Recording

Hi All,

i was searching for some code to give me an idea as to how to write my own mouse recorder. I did find this;
http://www.purearea.net/pb/showcase/sho ... =20&sort=2

which is great, and does most of what i need. Does anyone have any code which shows how this might be achieved.
I am guessing that i would need to use hooks but i am not sure.

Thanks

Not the actual version!

Take this:

You don't need hooks for simple mouse recording.
I've only used:
GetAsyncKeyState_(), GetCursorPos_(), mouse_event_()
and SetCursorPos_(). Thats all.

Some hints:

multi monitoring = screen coordinates could be negative

Doubleclick time = system dependent!

Regards,
Mischa

Any way to speed up the playback many times over, maybe 1000%?

it would be nice if it cached keys also.
