What is Virtual Key?

Post by Lemonadez »

Code: Select all

			{VKC:n} Sends the specified virtual key code.
			{EXT:n} Sends the specified extended virtual key code.
Can I do this. Send "D" Key on game.exe (repeatedly every 10 seconds) while Im Browsing Internet (Chrome)?
like it will send D Button while its not active window.

No, XMBC uses MS's sendinput API which places keys into the keyboard buffer and thus get sent to the window with keyboard focus.
Virtual key CODES are what Windows uses internally to identify which key has been pressed.
