Setting Cursor Position According To KeyState [Solved]
Setting Cursor Position According To KeyState [Solved]
Talk about over-posting, right? This is pretty much the only forum I go on >_<
Anyways, I'm curious why this doesn't work:
Kind of obvious what it should do. If it gets Left Alt down, it sets the cursor to the spot where the cursor was...But I need it to not move the cursor while ALT is held down, and allow free movement once ALT is up. I guess I don't get the full understanding of GetAsyncKeyState() 
Anyways, I'm curious why this doesn't work:
Code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <WinUser.h>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LMENU))
{
POINT cursorPos;
GetCursorPos(&cursorPos);
float x = 0;
x = cursorPos.x;
float y = 0;
y = cursorPos.y;
char msg[50];
SetCursorPos(x, y);
}
main();
}
Easy Peasy:
[highlight=c]void main()
{
POINT cursorPos;
GetCursorPos(&cursorPos);
HWND hWnd = GetConsoleWindow();
while (true)
{
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LMENU))
{
int x = 0;
x = cursorPos.x ;
int y = 0;
y = cursorPos.y;
ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_HIDE);
SetCursorPos(x, y);
}
else
{
ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_SHOW);
GetCursorPos(&cursorPos);
}
}[/highlight]
Notice the use of ShowWindow function.
Profit ?
[highlight=c]void main()
{
POINT cursorPos;
GetCursorPos(&cursorPos);
HWND hWnd = GetConsoleWindow();
while (true)
{
if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LMENU))
{
int x = 0;
x = cursorPos.x ;
int y = 0;
y = cursorPos.y;
ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_HIDE);
SetCursorPos(x, y);
}
else
{
ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_SHOW);
GetCursorPos(&cursorPos);
}
}[/highlight]
Notice the use of ShowWindow function.
Profit ?
Thanks Hassan. 
That's similar to what I had before, minus the show / hide window.
EDIT: You didn't do the closing bracket for main. ;D But I always miss brackets.
EDIT2:...Could I make it only set the Y, and let the cursor move freely along the X axis? I figured the syntax of SetCursorPos was bendable, but I'm wrong.

EDIT: -_- My Visual C++ messed up. I had to make a new project then re-type it.. D: But works perfect. Thanks.

/Marked Solved.

See how my try failed. *SIGH*

The solution is not rocket science. I basically used his original code and modified a little bit. If he knew what the original code is doing, then he wouldn't have any problem getting what the new code is doing.
