I'm writing a little tool in VC++ to record key strokes to replay them later, a macro recorder. It works quite nice already, using a keyboard hook function that reads each and every key press and release event. The playback works with the SendInput() function and generally also works fine - except for repeating key strokes. Pressing a ke...

I can tell using reflector that this application has 1) a static variable in the form main form that is a reference to that "main" form and 2) has an event that is fired that I want to be able to take action based upon.

I am writing Windows Hooks for DirectX 6.1.

I'm looking for a way to display an "Are you sure you want to print X pages?" dialog after they pressed print (in any application), but before the job is sent to the queue. I'm looking for pointers on how to implement such a hook...
I have a Lenovo Y550 laptop which has a nice looking touch sensitive strip with led lights on top of keyboard. The usage for this is however quite useless (it can be used to start 4 different Lenovo programs) so I started to think if I could program something of my own for it. However I don't have any experience with this kind of thing....

A few example hooks are located in the Mercurial book: acl bugzilla notify check for whitespace I personally don't find these very useful.

I have created an exe file that will print to console the first and second arguments that it receives. In the SVN post-commit hook I wrote: PATH_TO_FILE\print.exe "%1" "%2" when I make a check-in, it gets stuck. %1 is the PATH %2 is revision number EDIT The answer to my question is that the executable file should be in the "bin" d...

In my local git repo I set post-receive.sample to just post-receive, chmod 755 and added in the line: /usr/bin/curl -u user:secret http://localhost:8080/hudson/job/MyJob/build?token=secondsecret If I force a build, hudson updates the code, but here's what I don't understa...
We use Perforce at work, and routinely keep software projects in the repository. In general creators follow the normal Perforce flow, BUT we also have a class of users, who doesn't have any need to edit the files but only read them. Currently we use P4Web but that requires the user so download each file individually to reassemble the p...

I was curious if anyone had any experience/knowledge about aim bots in online FPS games such as Counter-Strike. I am curious and would like to learn more about how the cursor knows how to lock on to an opposing player.

Not a terribly good question, sorry. I have a program that needs to be alerted when a file is opened from explorer (i.e. ShellExecute(A/W) is called). Unfortunately, Microsoft removed the COM interface (IShellExecuteHook) that allows you to hook these events in Vista and up, supposedly because older code could cause a crash due to chan...
This is the code for my keyhooking class, but it doesn't work. I was wondering if someone can tell me why? I'm instansiating it in another Console application. The debug message gives the proper output, but the keyboard hook simply doesn't catch keys. I was hoping if someone could tell me why. namespace GlobalHooks { public class In...
