sendinput

I was using the Mouse_Event Function in Delphi 2009, but the Delphi documentation says this function has been superceded and to use SendInput instead. The Delphi SendInput documentation defines the syntax and parameters, but there are no examples and it is not clear how to use the function. I've looked around on the web, and can't find any good Delphi examples. Specifically, I am trying to simulate the left mouse down and then up. Currently I do this with Mouse_Event as follows: Mouse_Event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE or MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0); Mouse_Event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE or

I've often struggled with simulating keyboard press events for various bots, or other GUI automating programs. I've managed to simulate keydown events using: INPUT[] kInput = new INPUT[1]; kInput[j].type = SendInputEventType.InputKeyboard; kInput[j].mkhi.ki.wVk = 0; kInput[j].mkhi.ki.wScan = (ushort) MapVirtualKey((uint) Keys.D5, 0); kInput[j].mkhi.ki.dwFlags = KeyboardEventFlags.SCANCODE; kInput[j].mkhi.ki.time = 0; kInput[j].mkhi.ki.dwExtraInfo = IntPtr.Zero; SendInput(1, kInput, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(INPUT))); OR INPUT[] kInput = new INPUT[1]; kInput[1].type = SendInputEventType

I have used sendInput() under xp 32bits using webservices to push F5 of current focused windows. Now under Vista win64 i can´t obtain this result. Some articles point uint problems using 4bits or 8bits but this is not fixing the problem under vista with differential compilation and FieldOffset(4)or(8). Others speak about no more interaction beetween Vista screen and the window using this SendInput() method. Can someone point the solution to push F5 in win32 and win64 machines. Thanks. uint intReturn = 0; NativeWIN32.INPUT structInput; structInput = new NativeWIN32.INPUT(); structInput.type =

MSDN states that keybd_event has been superceded by SendInput. During a rewrite I switched to using SendInput...which was fine except when trying to send an Alt-key combination. On a Win7 64-bit system (haven't tried elsewhere yet), send an Alt-key causes a long delay before the keystroke is apparent in the target application. Any ideas why? Or what I've done wrong? For now, I've gone back to keybd_event--the second version below. //Keyboard input from this version appears only after a ~4-5 second //time lag... procedure SendAltM; var KeyInputs: array of TInput; KeyInputCount: Integer; //-----

I hope someone can assist, I trying to find an example of a SendInput code that simulate keyboard commands, I wish to find the notepad window and enter a test message. I had initially used SendKeys on a project I am working on, the SendKeys function enabled me to forward keyboard commands to a bespoke software that we are use at our workplace. I hope someone can help, the examples on the internet does not seem to work. Can anyone also advise if the SendInput method is intrusive, i.e. will it cause any damage to the recipient window. The SendKey method worked, however the reliability seems to

I am using the following standard GenerateKey Code : void GenerateKey ( int vk , BOOL bExtended) { KEYBDINPUT kb={0}; INPUT Input={0}; // generate down if ( bExtended ) kb.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY; kb.wVk = vk; Input.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD; Input.ki = kb; ::SendInput(1,&Input,sizeof(Input)); // generate up ::ZeroMemory(&kb,sizeof(KEYBDINPUT)); ::ZeroMemory(&Input,sizeof(INPUT)); kb.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_KEYUP; if ( bExtended ) kb.dwFlags |= KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY; kb.wVk = vk; Input.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD; Input.ki = kb; ::SendInput(1,&Input,sizeof(Input)); } I call this function to simulate

I created a device similar to a wiimote and i want to use it as a mouse in windows (8.1). The device connects over tcp to a c++ win32 program on my windows computer and sends the position where the mouse cursor should move. I am using the SetCursorPos function to set the position, which works great to control most programs. But when I try to control for example the task manager, the cursor doesn't move anymore. When I switch from the task manager back to some other program it works again. I also tried to use the SendInput function with the same results. This is what my code looks like with
