Results for the directinput[VB] DirectInput Question -Hello, i want to know if it's possible to emulate DirectInput's events, for example if I press a key in the keyboard DirectInput create a event. Thanks. DirectInput - Hello, I am currently working on a macro program for a game and it uses DirectInput. Is there any way to send keys to that program? I don't mind if I need to use other dll's or stuff like that. Thanks! SendKeys using DirectX's DirectInput - Since DirectInput works at the lowest level and obtains input directly from the keyboard, is it possible to invoke a SendKeys type function? It seems as though it would be possible. If not, what can do a better job than SendKeys, the SendInput API, and the Keyb_Event API? Faking DirectInput - I'm trying to find out.. if you have a program gathering its input through direct input, is there a way to simulate something through there? Like a keypress or mouse move /click? I think this may be the reason a program I'm trying to create a macro prog for is ignoring a lot of my GamePad input for DirectInput in VB6 - I can't find a descent example anywhere that shows how to access the gamepad and buttons. At the moment I'm using the outdated DirectDraw7. I've found plenty of examples of how to use DirectInput for Keyboard strokes, But not Game Controllers. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. DirectInput problem - Simulating Keystrokes - I'm trying to make a program that simulates a keystroke for a game (have tried keybd_event, and postmessage/sendmessage), and I can get it to work when the game is in a state where it seems to accept regular windows keyboard events (like, when you are typing text to say to another pers Other input Devices with DirectInput - Hey all, I am trying to figure out how I can detect a device I have connected to my machine. It is a footpedal device I am trying to use with my app. How do I detect what the device properties are for this device? It has three buttons total and was recognized as a compatible direct DLL Wrappers - Could anyone tell me how I would go about writing a DLL wrapper?

I'm trying to u DirectInput keyboard poling question (Resolved) - I'm writing a game using DirectInput. The game uses full screen 3D animation, so to debug I'm using remote debugging over a network.

I'm just trying to use a USB joystick within my program. I don't care how I do it. Thanks, Bill key combinations - basically I would use the GetKeys API, but if polling really doesn't work for you DirectInput can do it with events too, its pretty straight forward just use the code of the SDK (you can take out of bunch of lines, but basically use the same code it's really easy to understand) Keyboard Hook - I'm trying to set a hook so that I can respond to a key combo such as Ctrl+O, without having the app in focus. I've tried the registerhook method but it's not comlpetely global, say if I have a game running the event is not fired when the combo is pressed. I've looked at DirectIn Keystroke repeat hesitation - When I am moving a box, object or character around the screen with the arrow keys I always get that half-second hesitation when I hold the key down before it starts moving steadily (continuously).
