just want to confirm wether maplestory uses directinput on directional keys(right,left,up and down) for movement?

is that the reason why its blocked even with mypostmessageA?

I don't play MapleStory, but I'm sure I recalled someone saying that it does hook DirectInput.

I believe MapleStory is DirectX though, not GDI or OGL.. So I would be surprised if it used anything other than DirectInput.

If it was using pure GDI, I'd be pretty amazed lol.

As for sending movement via PostMessage, pretty sure people have done it throughout this section. Various bots have been made, I dunno if they involve automatic moving as I don't play Maple, but pretty positive it's done already.

If not, you could go about hooking the DirectInput interface for the keyboard and creating a bypass to allow you to send keys via something such as an MMF, a pipe, etc.

sending normal keys like A-Z, F1-F12,ctrl,alt via mypostmessage is working perfectly.
but for ingame movement (up,down,right left) sending VK has no effect (but working fine in the textbox). so i was wondering if sending keys by hooking on directInput can bypass that problem.

Shl 16/<< 16 would solve that problem, what are you programming it in?

Their has always been a specific problem of sending directional keys to MS. I believe that it has never been done before.

Shl 16 solves the problem with all the other keys he mentioned above.
Ingame Movement is not affected by shl 16, nor any attempt to send Directional keys (VK_LEFT, VK_UP, VK_DOWN, VK_RIGHT)

I don't know much about DirectInput, so if it is using it, hooking keyboard events would work... maybe?

here's a link to some DirectInput tutorials with Keyboards just to understand some more (After I get home from hanging with friends i might start looking more into this too)

Not saying this will work for Maple as I assume this is the game you are talking about, but, for hooking DirectInput, you need to:

Either wrap the full DirectInput class inside the game or specifically hook the DirectInput's CreateDevice function inside the process. When you have that hooked, one of the params for DirectInputs CreateDevice passes GUID of the given device being created. You use use the following to determine if the GUID is the keyboard of the system:

Code:
if( guid == GUID_SysMouse )
{
}


From there, you can either wrap the full device with your own input device wrapper, or hook the specific class functions to handle the input/output of the keyboard.

Inside the main object class for the given input device, the two main functions that handle input and output are GetDeviceState and GetDeviceData. There are a few tutorials around the net that show how to work with DirectInput, you can also look at video game design tutorials to get an idea of how to handle keyboard input and such via DirectInput which can help with creating a hook / wrapper for this.

Good luck. Smile
