I've made a trainer for crimsonland the latest one. I've made hotkeys and things seem fine. When I go into the game though, I press the hotkey but it does not work. I test my hotkeys another way. I open up another window say firefox so that my trainer is not in focus and I press the corresponding hotkey. I hear a beep confirming that it works.
So I confirmed that my hotkeys work when my trainer is not in focus but it seems like the game is blocking my hotkeys somehow. When I activate the hack manually, it works in game but the hotkeys don't. Can anyone enlighten me on why it is not working?

how are you doing your hotkeys ? registering them with your wndproc ?

yes, I'm registering them with the registerhotkey api and using the wndproc function to catch them

and now you know why ce abandoned using them (if you look at the ce code you can still see it's using the registerhotkey framework leftover) I think it's some feature in directinput or some other keyboard handler that disables hotkeys. (example: ctrl+r would usually pop up ICQ, but some games use it (strafe and reload), and that would piss people off)

Try polling in a thread with get(async)keystate (with a high priority and low idle time, but not too low)
