How can i add hotkeys in Visual c++

[nbr1dan]

Hello, my question is how can I add hotkeys to my c++ warrock trainer?

Any info is much appreciated

you have to make some timers for your hotkeys,like a vb6 app.i have a tut on my site witch i cant link you too cause this sites gay.

Here's a quick example, commented and such.

#include "stdafx.h"

bool bOption1 = false; // Option #1 toggle
bool bOption2 = false; // Option #2 toggle
bool bOption3 = false; // Option #3 toggle
bool bDone = false; // Quit toggle

#define IsKeyDown(Key) GetAsyncKeyState(Key) & 0x8000 // Shortcut for checking if a key is down.

DWORD WINAPI HotkeyThread(LPVOID lpParam)
{
	while (!bDone)
	{
		if (IsKeyDown(VK_F1)) // If F1 is pressed...
		{
			bOption1 = !bOption1; // Toggle Option #1
		}
		else if (IsKeyDown(VK_F2)) // If F2 is pressed...
		{
			bOption2 = !bOption2; // Toggle Option #2
		}
		else if (IsKeyDown(VK_F3)) // If F3 is pressed...
		{
			bOption3 = !bOption3; // Toggle Option #3
		}
		else if (IsKeyDown(VK_F4)) // If F4 is pressed...
		{
			bDone = !bDone; // Quit
		}

		Sleep(50); // Let the thread sleep for 50 milliseconds, saves a bit of CPU usage.
	}

	return 0; // Default thread exit code.
}

int main()
{
	CreateThread(NULL, NULL, HotkeyThread, NULL, 0, NULL); // Start our hotkey thread

	while (!bDone) // Keep looking until quit key is pressed.
	{
		if (bOption1)
		{
			//TODO: Add option #1
		}
		
		if (bOption2)
		{
			//TODO: Add option #2
		}

		if (bOption3)
		{
			//TODO: Add option #3
		}

		Sleep(50); // Sleep for 50 milliseconds, etc.
	}
	return 0;
}

Quick tip, don't think of programming in C++ as you would with Visual Basic. They are far from the same thing.

Simple example code, commented as best as I could make it off the top of my head.

#include "stdafx.h"

bool bOption1 = false; // Option #1 toggle
bool bOption2 = false; // Option #2 toggle
bool bOption3 = false; // Option #3 toggle
bool bDone = false; // Quit toggle

#define IsKeyDown(Key) GetAsyncKeyState(Key) & 0x8000 // Shortcut for checking if a key is down.

DWORD WINAPI HotkeyThread(LPVOID lpParam)
{
	while (!bDone)
	{
		if (IsKeyDown(VK_F1)) // If F1 is pressed...
		{
			bOption1 = !bOption1; // Toggle Option #1
		}
		else if (IsKeyDown(VK_F2)) // If F2 is pressed...
		{
			bOption2 = !bOption2; // Toggle Option #2
		}
		else if (IsKeyDown(VK_F3)) // If F3 is pressed...
		{
			bOption3 = !bOption3; // Toggle Option #3
		}
		else if (IsKeyDown(VK_F4)) // If F4 is pressed...
		{
			bDone = !bDone; // Quit
		}

		Sleep(50); // Let the thread sleep for 50 milliseconds, saves a bit of CPU usage.
	}

	return 0; // Default thread exit code.
}

int main()
{
	CreateThread(NULL, NULL, HotkeyThread, NULL, 0, NULL); // Start our hotkey thread

	while (!bDone) // Keep looking until quit key is pressed.
	{
		if (bOption1)
		{
			//TODO: Add option #1
		}
		
		if (bOption2)
		{
			//TODO: Add option #2
		}

		if (bOption3)
		{
			//TODO: Add option #3
		}

		Sleep(50); // Sleep for 50 milliseconds, etc.
	}
	return 0;
}

Where do i have to put the code any of u gave?
Im new at the hacking thing so please sumone can reply?

my c++ version is so strange...

although i have to modify all your GREAT TUTORIALS FOR C++, i'm quite happy with it, cause it is a bit easier to understand and has more features...

for example the whole keypress suite is already there, so i don't need to define it, just to check
