Hello! I want to force 'R' key when mouse is clicked. Can it be done with DLL (maybe User32.dll)?

Happy to having and using DarkBASIC Professional...

Thanks, is there any way to lets say simulate 'R' key into games (like DirectInput or Sendinput()?)

How do you think this will work?

In your original post, you want to trigger a keypress when the mouse button is clicked - DBPro will only detect the mouse button if it's the program with focus, and because it has focus, any key event you create will automatically be passed to your DBPro window.

Now you say that you want to affect another program. Either that program will have focus, stopping DBPro from getting mouse clicks, or your DBPro program will have focus, stopping your game from getting your simulated keyboard clicks.

@ MummyKillerSLO:

Maybe if you tell us exactly what you're trying to do on more than a single line we can help you.

Well in my first post I said to simulate 'R' key when mouse is pressed as example. I want to somehow simulate 'R' key to work in other games (like NFS). Lets say if we press key 'C', the DBPro program will simulate key 'R' like it was pressed on keyboard physically (not VirtualKey, because games read keys direct from keyboard and not work with VirtualKeys).

I'm not so good at english so it's hard to explain .

Like IanM said Darkbasic Pro is not going to work for you that way. The only way to really do what you want is to download a macro program. I use a macro program for my data entry job called My Macros that works real well for annoying repetitive things. You can make macros to insert keystrokes, trigger mouse events like moving the mouse automatically and clicking buttons, delays, run other macros, launch programs, load web pages, manipulate windows, dial a phone number, and even shut down your computer. You can download a trial version or buy it for only $30USD. It may look primitive but it's well worth the money.
