I'm trying to send Key combinations like Shift F8, etc to a specific window.

I've tried ORing it with System.Windows.Forms.Keys.SHIFT as well as Syst...

[important new information available below at bottom of this entry] I have what I believe is a very standard game loop using GDI+. It works reasonably well (about 25 fps for a complex game, 40 fps for a simple game) on Vista and XP. When I run it on Windows 7 (with a significantly faster CPU, and more memory), it slows down so much the ...
The actual problem I'm trying to solve is, I want to automatically find out the size of the margins around windows. If you can find a better way, please by all means answer that instead of this.

The approach with stream buffer replacement doesn't fully work since DLLs might have different instances of cout/wcout due to run-time libraries dif...
