Cheat Engine

[filyr]

Let's take a simple example:

I'll start up notepad.exe -> attach cheat engine -> type the letter "a" in notepad.

Is there any way to listen for the actual low-level message being sent to the process?

My goal is to simulate the very same message programatically.

Thanks

if you want to simulate key presses (in notepad) from your application, use FindWindowA function (user32.dll) to get the notepad window, then use SendMessageA function with WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP messages.

Thanks for the feedback.

My goal is to send the commands to a game. However, I noticed that the game is blocking all messages that are associated with movement.

I guess that leaves me with focusing the game window -> simulating keypresses on the actual window, instead of sending messages to it. Or do you have any other suggestions?
