Is there any way to use the functions, somehow on another exe? Or simulate a button press of another exe virtuall, without acctually pressing it?

Lol this might be dumb.

What I am wondering, is if I can somehow send keys to an app using On-Screen Keyboard (OSK.exe), but problematically (C++) instead of manually.

Well, if you wanna simulate a message such as a key press, then you can send a message to that window with the message being WM_KEYDOWN.

Use FindWindow to get the main window.
Then use SendMessage or PostMessage to send the message to that window.

PostMessage and tell the button it's been clicked.

You're thinking of something different.

Anyways, what I would do is basically (if you're not gonna go the PM way), find the X and Y coordinates of the window, then add the offsets of the button from the top left corner of the window.

If you don't understand it, then just check out some computer graphics things. It's really simple, though.

use Microsoft Spy++ on Maplestory and find out what keys are used to move your character.. it doesn't only tell you WM_KEYUP it tells you the number for WM_KEYUP if it has been changed.. so u can make a new

const int WM_KEYUP2 = 0xNEW_number_from_spy++;

Impossible, character movement is using DirectInput.

umm samurai NO. FindWindowEx to find the buttons handle. Then PostMessage to it.

According to Spy++:

As for calling functions in another process, you can use CreateRemoteThread.

If you want to use a function from an EXE in your own process (rather than running it remotely in another process), you can treat EXE's like libraries, and use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress.
