Keypress/macro commands?
Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2004 4:45 am
I often need to send a keypress or a mouseclick in my apps, but the API code to
do so is quite long to type. Here's two simple examples:
Press Space:
keybd_event_(#VK_SPACE,0,0,0) : keybd_event_(#VK_SPACE,0,#KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0)
Left mouse click:
mouse_event_(#MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,0,0,0,0) : mouse_event_(#MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP,0,0,0,0)
It'd be great to have two new commands to replace these, such as:
KeyPress(#VK_SPACE) ; Accept any standard #VK_* constant.
MouseClick(#VK_LBUTTON) ; Also accept #VK_RBUTTON and #VK_MBUTTON.
Should be fairly easy to implement...?
