Okay..
Yeah I hate using VB now because I cant do shit with it. I cant make an external application close with a hotkey/button.
I can't use any useful codes. Its just getting way to simple now.
Thing is, C++ is much harder to learn. I have lacrosse in like 5 days, and from then on, I will get home at 7:30, and I gotta do homework and shit. Yes, I got a great life but I love programming for some reason...
Anyways, how much time do you think it will take for me to say, make an "Image-Loader". Something where it prints the screen,(Print Scr) and than with another click of a button, uploads it onto tinypic.com or something through FireFox (or e.g. your default browser).
I will only have like 30-60 mins a day of programming from March 17th to like Jan. 9th.

Even though it can be done in VB... do it in C++. It'll be faster and smaller in size. (Unless you're using absolutely shit code.)

Learn SendInpu() to press screen print, this will take you about 30 seconds, I'll post the code to that later.
And I'm not sure about the second part.
SendInput Code
| Code: |
INPUT Input;
memset(&Input,0,sizeof(INPUT));
Input.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Input.ki.wVk = VK_PRTSCRN; //this is where you put the print screen key, this not the right one, google virtual keys and replace it here
Input.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY;
SendInput(1,&Input,sizeof(INPUT));
Input.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Input.ki.wVk = VK_PRTSCRN; //and here
Input.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;
SendInput(1,&Input,sizeof(INPUT));

Because you have to search VB.NET in Google while looking for tutorials.

None of that works, just tried it. I think i'm going fucking stupid or something. Do I just copy + paste that into a button? Can you explain that any more, I really gotta learn this and get it over with. I just started VB programming like a couple days ago. I was making Flash games trainers before.
Sorry for all these questions.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.
Download it, install it, create a console app, and paste that code into the _tmain method.

First off, stop trying to immediately jump in over your head. Not everything is as simple as it sounds at first. Can't figure it out? Move on along to another project.
1. Yes, you can make what you want in .NET
2. You're going to end up with a better understanding of how exactly things work, what's going on in your window, how to work with them, etc in C, .NET hides much of this from you.
Don't just copy and paste examples people give you, bad, bad way to learn. Write it out and look it over, if you don't get it, look it up. Google the function name and MSDN will 99% of the time come up first hit.
If it's a deeper understanding you're looking for, go for C then ASM later. There's tutorials everywhere, if you have a question, ask.
