[Help] C# Pressing a Key in a game which will make my program click 'Start'

[Deathyaw]

Hello there , i am currently doing a program which will Announce and Countdown from example lets say 5 minutes , So when you press 'Start' Button it will count down from 5 minutes to 0,

The thing that i would like to have is this:

If i am in a Fullscreened Game For Example WoW , League of Legends ye any game with fullscreen

And i press 'Numpad 8' i want the Program to click start on Button 1.

This should be possible since i've seen it before but i dont know how to.

Please reply ASAP doing this for a C# Project in school

First off I haven't programmed in c# in a while so this may not be an easy solution and not really a viable one.
Go look up keycodes for numpad 8 I believe its like 68 or sometihng.

To make your program work what you could do (AND DO NOT DO THIS ONLINE) you could hoook your program into the games so if you click the numpad your game would recieve the input. The reason you shouldn't try this online is because warden may see that you hooked onto the process and ban you. I really can't remember other ways of doing this maybe so programming guru will help, but this is all I remember from my 3 months of programming in c#.

You will need to hook the keyboard. Just Google windows keyboard hook and you should find what you are looking for. I don't think you want to press a button, you really want to do is start a function. Its the same thing in a way. But if you have never done this before it can be a little hard.

Be aware hooking your keyboard may also trigger anti-virus to go off. But it's a good way to go.

Thanks for the gr8 replys and quick ones

I will try them out and i found 0x48 as Numpad 8 in league of legends


I will use it online since League of Legends does currently not have any type of Warden ( Known )

Well even wow's Warden cant detect most keyboard hooks. So I would think you are more then safe with League of Legends.

Ye tho the only problem is that i cant seem to get this to work

        private void buttonbaron_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (KeyDown +=new KeyEventHandler(Keys.NumPad*8);

I need to Add an event so when the key Numpad*8 is pressed use buttonbaron

[spitfire21]

Write an event handler for button baron.
