keyboardType() - using symbols and stuff.

Hey, I'm using MicroMacro in Shaiya.
I'm trying to get it to run macro's in the message window with keyboardType() function:
an example:
Code: Select all
keyboardPress(key.VK_ENTER);
keyboardType("/partyinvite _someuser_");
keyboardPress(key.VK_ENTER);
The issue is that slashes "/", and "_" are not being entered. I took a look at micromacro's source, but I have no idea how to setup the project (I use CodeBlocks), and in the:
macro.cpp
void macro::keyboardType(std::string message)
There is some pretty low level coding going on which I don't really understand.

Yeah, keyboardType() still needs to be fixed. The problem with it is that I can either make special cases for all symbols (which would probably break under different keyboard layouts), or need to rewrite the whole function. Actually, I'll work on that now.

That would be fantastic.
I tried compiling in CodeBlocks but I'm missing a bunch of libraries, and I can't b bothered figuring it out cause it takes a long time. To configure a development environment. Plus I'd be next to useless, cause at a quick glance I didn't understand ur code.

Not surprising. Sometimes, I don't even understand my code. But all joking aside, I do find it is harder to make sense of somebody elses code most of the time. And keyboardType() was a mess. Here's the new, revised keyboardType() that should work most of the time (although is kind of hackish).
Code: Select all
/* Function: keyboardType
Description:
Types the string passed to it, as if typed by the user.
*/
void macro::keyboardType(std::string message)
{

for(unsigned int i = 0; i < message.length(); i++)
{
char thischar = message.at(i);
if( thischar == '\n' ) {
keyPress(VK_RETURN);
continue; }
char vk = VkKeyScan(thischar);
char keyscan = MapVirtualKey(vk, 0);
int capitol = ( thischar >= 'A' && thischar <= 'Z' );
int needshift = (thischar >= '!' && thischar <= '&') ||
(thischar >= '(' && thischar <= '+') ||
(thischar == ':') || (thischar == '<') || (thischar == '>') ||
(thischar == '?') || (thischar == '@') || (thischar == '^') ||
(thischar == '_') || (thischar >= '{' && thischar <= '~');
if( capitol || needshift )
keyHold(VK_SHIFT);
keybd_event(vk, keyscan, 0, 0);
rest(keyboardDelay);
keybd_event(vk, keyscan, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
rest(keyboardDelay);
if( capitol || needshift )
keyRelease(VK_SHIFT);
}
}
I've just uploaded the fixed version to the server, so you can fetch it off the download page.

thanks allot.
I wasn't referring to ur coding style, just that I don't understand bitwise comparison/operators well. I'll test it now.
