Key is down or pressed and hold

[killer.assassin]

Well i have been programming for a while now and want to know more. i.e increase my knowlede and make more hacks. lol.

I was wondering what is the command of checking that
if a key is pressed and hold.
for example i am holding right click.
How sholud i make c++ to know that i m doing so.
please tell me the command and syntax thanks.

I already know about GetAsyncKeyState.
can it be used to check the key state. if it is being pressed or not.
I only use it for activating the hacks.

THanks in advance.

I don't think there is a built in "command" (other than active console input) that will cause something to happen when key states are changed, you will have to make your own handlers to detect that.

//I know this is C# but you should be able to get the idea
while (true)
      {
         foreach (int i in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Keys)))
         {
              if (GetAsyncKeyState(i) == -32768)// i is 1 for left, 2 for right and 4 for middle mouse buttons.
              {
                        Console.WriteLine((Keys)i + " (" + i + ")");
                        Thread.Sleep(int.Parse(interval1));
              }
         }
         Thread.Sleep(int.Parse(interval2));
      }

If GetAsyncKeyState returns a value of 0 it means the button is up and -32768 means its down.

Alternatively you could also use DirectInput to get key information.

[Sfab1]

if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD1)) << if holded
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD1) & 1) << if pressed once

example

if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD1) & 1)
NoFog = !NoFog;

if uve pressed numpad1 once no fog hack turns on and otherway

I will try both these methods......


1st one is dufficult because i am new but i know i will understand it somehow.
and second one "lol i should have known that"
Thanks for your reply.

I understood the concept of keyboard. thanks for the help
but next comes the mouse. I have read about mouse that it uses events to check movements and clicks
Can any one give a simple example, so i can understand the concept.

thanks

What you want to do is perfectly possible with GetAsyncKeyState;

If the most significant bit is set, the key is down, and if the least significant bit is set, the key was pressed after the previous call to GetAsyncKeyState. However, you should not rely on this last behavior; for more information, see the Remarks.

To get the most significant bit you could do this:

if( ( GetAsyncKeyState(SomeKeyCode) >> 15 ) )
{
      //More code here
}

That should work fine ( although the compiler might complain a bit in which case you should probably cast it )

This code however, assumes that a SHORT is 16 bits in length. Which need not be true.

True

if( GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RBUTTON) < 0 )
{
        //Do something when you are holding right click
}

ok thanks i will try that.

i didnt knew that VK_RBUTTON works with GetAsyncKeyState.

thank again.

any virtual key could have been used.
