Hi,
I'm working on a trainer for MapleStory and I have some trouble sending a key in a loop untill I untick the checkbox. I know how PostMessage works and how to make it bypass GG. I only have problem with sending it more than once when the checkbox is ticked. I've tried a for(;Wink loop but the only thing that does is to freeze the trainer(not that i expected it to work) and I have searched both here and google but havn't found a solution to my problem : /. I was hoping you huys could help me so I attached the source.

The Extension 'rar' was deactivated by an board admin, therefore this Attachment is not displayed.

You need to use threads.

And how do I use threads? I've tried CreateThread but don't really know how it works.

google is your friend. So is MSDN

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682453.aspx

Code:
CreateThread(0, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)&ProcedureNameGoesHere, hWnd, 0, 0);


Basically this.....

Thank you very much Smile. It's working now Very Happy.

Edit: How do I make it stop when I untick the checkbox? CreateThread is new to me so I don't know much about it.

ExitThread() is preferred. When you tick the checkbox set a boolean, and have your thread compare that boolean. IF true -> ExitThread()

Thank you sponge and Fuzz. You helped alot. But how do I set the delay between every keypress? i.e I write 100 in the text box and the delay should be 100 msec. I tried this
Code:
DWORD _stdcall AutoLoot()
{
   LRESULT Delay = SendMessage(AutoLootDelay, WM_GETTEXT, 0, 0); // AutoLootDelay is the text box and it's preset on 100

   if(MapleWnd = FindWindow(_T("MapleStoryClass"), 0))
   {
      for(;;)
      {
         _PostMessageA(MapleWnd, WM_KEYDOWN, 0x5A, (MapVirtualKey(0x5A, 0) << 16));
         Sleep(Delay);
      }
   }
   return 0;
}
And on the text box I want to get the delay time from is set on 100. It compiles perfect but it just spam the z button without a delay. I've been trying this for a couple of hours but havn't gotten it to work. I've googled for a solution but didn't find one. I know I could just write Sleep(100); instead but I want to be able to change the delay whenever I want.

You're getting char's from it, not an int.

try GetDlgItemInt

GetDlgItemInt:
Code:

int Delay = GetDlgItemInt(hWnd,IDC_DELAY_EDIT,0,0);

hWnd - handle to your trainer
IDC_DELAY_EDIT - the Edit contol's Id
then you get the value that was entered to the edit control as int and not as string
