To get that SendInput .cpp file to compile I had to change the windows.h file to 0x0501 from 0x0400 and also change stdafx.h. Are there any consequences from this later? I'm not a software developer so I wouldn't think that it is important to me.

September 10, 2004

Ok, I got it !!!! But, I have some bad news. This is the final code that works.

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>


int main(){

cout<<"hit enter to click button";
cin.get();
cin.get();


SetCursorPos(404, 459);

mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);


return 0;

}

sorry man. I couldn't ever get SendInput to work. I thought I should tell you in case you ever need to do the same thing. You the man, though. Later.

September 10, 2004

Yes yes, thanks Hearts. It compiles now. But, it isn't working. I'm investigating right now why it isn't. I am testing it on a poker game that I have where the button is at the bottom and it will deal your hand if you click on it and it isn't dealing. I think it may have something to do with bringing the app into the foreground or making it have focus ?

September 10, 2004

It says XBUTTON1 "undeclared identifier" . ****, well, I guess I'll try to figure it out tomorrow.

September 10, 2004

Crap. It didn't like that. Here is the code now if you need it. It said this:

I also tried an #endif at the end of my code with the previous way but it didn't like that either.

The DLL is 240 kb and I can only attach files that are 150 kb and below. Got an e-mail address I can send it to ?

September 9, 2004

I think it worked. Here you go.

September 9, 2004

Ok, figured it out except for the unexpect end of file found. I'm looking and looking and see no missed brackets ? I'm confused here.

Evidently, you need this in the file, too

#if (_WIN32_WINNT > 0x0400)

I found that info on another site. I would not have been able to come up with obviously since I'm new to this stuff. But what's up with the unexpected end of file found.

September 9, 2004

Hey, Hearts, I'm back. I got 3 errors when I tried to compile it. Also, do I need to use MOUSEINPUT , or is that just FYI . Sorry for so many questions. This is what it said:

Ok. I got the handle of the button. I got the caption of the button and I have the class of it. I didn't even know these things existed until 5 minutes ago. I used Spy++. Anyone have ideas of where to go from here? Is this what I put into SendInput ?

September 9, 2004

Ok, appreciate the advice Hearts and Simon. What I don't understand is the SendInput function. I don't understand the parameters.

Parameters

nInputs

[in] Specifies the number of structures in the pInputs array.

pInputs

[in] Pointer to an array of INPUT structures. Each structure represents an event to be inserted into the keyboard or mouse input stream.

cbSize

[in] Specifies the size, in bytes, of an INPUT structure. If cbSize is not the size of an INPUT structure, the function will fail.

************************

Number of structures in the inputs array ?? Huh ? Pointer to an array of input structures ? What does arrays have to do with this ? Ok the size of it but how do I find these things out ? Please help. The rest looks easy.

I want to be able to automate a mouse click so that when I start up a program it will click on a button in a window automatically. I already have a handle to this window . I know the x and y coords. Can anyone help a beginning programmer out? I am using win32 and it is a console program. Also, this button won't move and the window is always in the same spot on my desktop, therefore the x and y coords will always be the same if this helps anyone out. I want to do it the easiest way possible. I know how to program with c++ but not that well and my windows programming is sketchy. If someone can get me started, a little experimenting on my part should solve what I need.

August 25, 2004

Thanks for the help Hearts. I finally got it working. It feels good to see your program work. I did a double take when I saw the window move.

I'm new to programming as you may have guessed so it feels good when something works especially when it is windows programming.

Actually, I'm not sure I would have gotten without your help. thanks. I like setwindowpos better than movewindow.

August 25, 2004

Let me explain further,

I need to get the handle of the window at the bottom of the Z order. Or, the window underneath my console program window.

August 25, 2004

Thanks for the reply. The SWP_NOSIZE should make it ignore the height and width numbers (the 2's). This child window that I am trying to move wasn't created by me. It is an application.

Right now, I'm having trouble getting a handle on the child window. The hwnd or whatever. Can you help?

Basically, all I need to do is get a handle on the current child window on the screen just below my console program and move it over to the left and up. Thanks.

August 24, 2004

Thanks. Use setwindowpos , you mean?

I am using this now:

It gives me errors saying:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\get pixel win32\getpixel7.cpp(18) : error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\get pixel win32\getpixel7.cpp(19) : error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'

Error executing cl.exe.

Here is the code:

const char* caption = "Poker";
HWND hwnd = FindWindow(NULL, caption);


BOOL SetWindowPos( HWND hWnd,
    HWND HWND_TOP,
    100,
    100,
    2,
    2,
    UINT SWP_NOSIZE
);

How do you get the handle? Am I doing it right?

August 24, 2004

Hi. I'm programming in c++ win32 and I need some code that will take the current window app that is on the screen and set placement of it to certain x, y coordinates on the screen. (please no MFC)

Thanks and please be specific.
