- I am a beginner in terms of programming using Visual C++.
- However, I have a task at hand that needs to be completed in about 2 weeks
- time. Here's the problem:
-
- I need to find a way to make an application program that can:
- 1. Execute a .EXE file (eg. any OTHER application program whose source code
- is not available, only the .EXE is available).
- 2. Send commands to the file executed in no. 1 above.
- Which command to be sent will depend on which mouse button was pressed.
-
- The following is an example of a typical task for the new application program:
-
- - A person is running a digitised video segment using Media Player in
- Windows NT.
- - While the video is playing, if the person then click the left button, the
- video will stop playing. (ie. by clicking the left button, the person is
- actually sending the equivalent of a keystroke sequence 'ALT-S' to the
- Media Player, which is the keystroke command that should be used to stop
- the playing of the video segment)
-
- In summary, what I'm trying to do is to substitute a couple of keystroke
- sequences using mouse actions.
- ANY kind of help or hints will be of immense help.
-
- Cheers ...
