		if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD0)&1)
		{

		if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD1))
		{
			cout<<"numpad 1 is pressed :)\n";
		}
		if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD5))
		{
			break;
		}
		Sleep(1);
	}
	return 0;
}

press numpad 0 and 1 once and see the difference

numpad0 will output it once for a single press, unless you hold it down for a few seconds
numpad 1 spam the text.

Therefor I prefer using &1 for toggles since it doesnt get switched back over a million times

I will test that when I get time.... today's been hectic... :L

It's more eficient IMO. With GetAsyncKeystate you check if a key is down or up, then you execute a piece of code. With RegisterHotkey you set a system wide hotkey. Then whenever that key is pressed, it sends a WM_HOTKEY to the application specified in the hwnd param for further handling. Instead of looping forever like with GAK.

Event/Message-Based > Loop-Based

create a new text file on your desktop, rename it to compilemyhacks.txt
then you put everything we posted into the text file. now do start>run>telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

watch the whole movie and then wonder why you are such a fish
