Visual C++ :: Low-Level Keyboard Input Detection?

Mar 13, 2014

I am writing an software that should be able to detect all keyboard inputs by the user. i.e., both hardware and software/on-screen keyboard.

This software is going to be written in a platform independent way and supposed to run on Windows, Linux, Android & iOS.

The idea is to capture the keyboard inputs from a low level, there by making sure that it doesn't miss any inputs even if it's a on-screen keyboard like in a mobile device.

I am looking at possible open source libraries that can be used.

C :: Numbers Detection In Input - Segmentation Fault

Oct 29, 2014

I need to distinguish between number (float) and other non number characters. I was trying to use this:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

float Ax;
...
scanf("%f
",&Ax);
if (isdigit(Ax)) {....}

And whatever I type I receive "Segmentation fault". How can I detect that the float input is correct? Is there any built in function?

Visual C++ :: How To Draw Pixel-level Color Gradients In CScrollView

Oct 6, 2012

i wish to plot a mathematical function on a 2-dimensional grid. The function will be represented by 3 sets of floats, x-values, y-values, and z-values. Obviously, it is impossible to plot 3 such data sets on a 2D grid, so one approach is to use pixel coloration to represent the z-values.

Those examples (and there are many to be found) show something like the function of the complex variable z, f(z) = exp(z). I have attached a exp(z).jpg example of the imaginary part of the plot exp(z).

My question is: How to accomplish such a gradient colorization, assuming one already has the data?

I have experimented with Gdiplus SetPixel, but I have not figured out how to produce a smooth gradient.

Here's my attempt to create a simple gradient:

Code:
CDC * pDC = GetDC();
Graphics graphics(pDC->m_hDC);
CRect r;
GetWindowRect(&r);
ScreenToClient(&r);

[Code] ....

C++ :: SDL - How To Get Keyboard Input Into Function

Aug 31, 2013

I am trying to get my keyboard input into a function, so that I can call a function like updatebuttons() and set global variables to 0 if the button is not down at the moment and 1 if it is. It seems simple, but I can't seem to get it to work right; I am not use to working outside of windows, so I am still a beginner with SDL.

C++ :: Microsoft Code For Keyboard Input Interpretation?

Nov 22, 2013

at the moment my program is extracting keyboard data through accessing the virtual key states. However, it is not performing as I intended because the data I receive from the console does not concur with the actions the user performed.

E.G. When I type, it comes out like this.

what I get with my program: WWhhhheeen III typeeee, iiit ccoommes oout lllikkke thhhhiiis

TLDR: so basically Id like to know how other programs know how to interpret keyboard input, so that when I type I dont get multiple inputs of the same key press

C :: Sending Simulated Keyboard Input Into Running System Application

Nov 26, 2014

I'm trying to simulate a ctrl+ keypress into a running application.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void) {
system("/usr/local/bin/rundb");
}

My problem is that the rundb program needs the user to type ctrl-b then s to actually start executing. What is the best way to handle this automatically? Some sort of fork/pipe?

C++ :: Program To Allow A User To Input A Number From Keyboard That Involves Loop Not Working Right?

Mar 30, 2014

I'm trying to write a C++ program that will allow a user to input a number from the keyboard. Then using a loop, that will perform 10 times, multiply the entered number by the loop counter. Print out the loop counter, the entered number and the product of the loop counter and the entered number. A one-time heading should be displayed before information is printed.

This kinda of what I have so far:

using namespace std;
int main () {
Start
Declare: numScores, sum, score, avg, SENTINEL = 200
numScores = 0

Visual C++ :: Capturing Both Soft / Hard Keyboard Inputs?

Oct 4, 2013

I have a C++ WIN32 DLL that acts as a server for a UI. Now i want to capture all keyboard inputs in the PC on the WIN32 dll, whenever the UI has active focus. If the user is typing something into another app, i don't care.

The trick is that, the keyboard can be both a software keyboard or a hardware keyboard. I want to be able to capture every keyboard input from the user on the PC in which the UI and DLL is running.

Is this possible to do? How can i implement this?

Visual C++ :: Blocking Keyboard Play / Pause Button In Windows 8?

Mar 27, 2014

I am writing an application that needs to temporarily disable the Play/Pause button that appears on multimedia keyboards.

Normally, a key can be blocked quite easily by installing a low level keyboard hook (WH_KEYBOARD_LL) where the KeyboardProc intercepts the key (in this case VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE) and returns a "1" instead of calling CallNextHookEx. I have tried this with other keys (including the Windows key VK_LWIN) and this works perfectly. I also have no problems with this method under Windows 7 where all keys, including VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE get blocked.

Windows 8 is a different story. When my application has input focus, everything works as expected, meaning the VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE key gets blocked and no other application responds to it. However, when my application loses focus, my hook procedure gets called (this was verified by sending out a OutputDebugString) but other applications respond to key even though I return a "1". As soon as my app gets focus again, everything is block as it should.

After some investigation, I found that the multimedia keys not only generate keystrokes but also generate WM_APPCOMMAND messages so I added ShellProc (WH_SHELL) hook with the following hook procedure:

LRESULT __declspec(dllexport)__stdcall CALLBACK ShellProc(int nCode,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam) {
// Do we have to handle this message?
if (nCode == HSHELL_APPCOMMAND) {
OutputDebugStringX(">>>>> HSHELL_APPCOMMAND");

[code]....

This procedure is only getting called when my app has input focus. Whenever I have input focus and return "1" the Play/Pause command gets blocked. As soon as I lose focus the procedure does not get called/hooked.

As I have mentioned, the code works for other keys, just not the multimedia keys.

Alternatively, another way of blocking the multimedia keyboards Play/Pause button?

Visual C++ :: Enter File Name By Keyboard Instead Of Command Line Arguments?

Mar 10, 2013

Actually the below program is for Dispersal Algorithm called Rabin-IDA; this algorithm divided the data into N pieces and then recombine it from M pieces (such that M<N).

Thus, the below program needs command line arguments,which entering by Project properties/Debugging. this argument is file name, where the program performing spitted the file into N files, and then recombine it from M divided files, and put it on another file which should also passing its name as argument .

Now my question is, How can i make this program enter the file name by keyboard??(i mean enter the files name by user from screen not as command line arguments) ... In another word, How I can exchange ?

Code:
argc == 3
and
Code:
argc == 2

To enter file name ? i mean what i should do to in

Code:
rabin.split(argv[1])

To pass my file name by use keyboard not Project properties/Debugging?)

the below code is just the main function of program, and the whole of it in this link [URL] .... Information Dispersal Algorithms Rabin-IDA.

Code:
#include "include.h"
void __cdecl _tmain(int argc, TCHAR *argv[]) {
DWORD ini=GetTickCount();
try {
if( argc == 3 ) //recombine

[Code] ....

I know I should use getline() function but how exchange argv[] ?

C++ :: USB Printer Detection?

May 16, 2014

take a look at this project : [URL] i want to change this project for this purpose : when a USB PRINTER is connected show a message that tell us -> hey this is a printer. which part of this project should i change and how can i separate printer devices from the others?

note: if you are using visual studio 2010 or higher and get error for this line after conversion :

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x403

just replace all of such these lines to stdafx.cpp file. means stdafx.cpp at last should be like this :

// stdafx.cpp : source file that includes just the standard includes
// HWDetect.pch will be the pre-compiled header
// stdafx.obj will contain the pre-compiled type information
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x403

C++ :: Map Collision - Camera Detection

Jan 20, 2015

Still working with SDL2 and c++ my map collision is messed up since I implemented my Camera.

I do understand that everything has a relative Position on the Screen, depending on the camera.

Problem No. 1: The camera is not moving as fast as the Player, despite having the absolutly same velocity (4/-4)??? How can this be O_o

Problem No. 2: My tile collision is totally messed now. Probably its because of the difference between the Player Position and the camera :/ So if you can solve Problem no. 1, Problem number 2 might work out on its own :)

I will upload the code to github [URL] .....
