Hi,

I'm very, *very* new to C programming, please help :3

I want to make a program that types a message for me, like this:

include <stdio.h>

include <windows.h>

include <iostream>

include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

Sleep(3000);

int message_length = 10;

int message[] = {0x44, 0x43, 0x44, 0x43, 0x44, 0x43, 0x44, 0x45, 0x44, 0x45};

INPUT in[message_length*2] = {};

ZeroMemory(in, sizeof(in));

//Keyboard input

int store_input = 0;

for(int i = 0; i < message_length; i++)

{

in[store_input].type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;

in[store_input].ki.wVk = message[i];

in[store_input].ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY;

store_input ++;

in[store_input].type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;

in[store_input].ki.wVk = message[i];

in[store_input].ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;

store_input ++;

}

SendInput(message_length*2, in, sizeof(INPUT));

return 0;

}

This does work. The program in this case writes "dcdcdcdede", because e.g. 0x44 translates to the "d"-key:

However, I would like to write a string into the array message[] and then convert it into the hexadecimal values of the corresponding virtual key codes, so that I can quickly change the message array.

E.g.: message[] = "Hello World";

Is there any way of doing this?
