C++ Project

Jist:

Building a project.

Need a way / function in C++ to type keys automatically.

Ex: I start prog, open notepad, and the text starts typing itself.

Is there anything specific that you would want it to say? I don't know much c++, but i think you can create your own function that would output any data to wherever you want it to go.

Basically anything. I want it to take over the keyboard and do the typing.

To regular inputs: notepad, forms etc

and maybe use Sleep() to slow it down

You can use keysends? There are a few problems with this though, like it's slight unreliability.

If you do want to use keysends, let me know and I'll find one of my old progs that uses them.

Here you go :)

It'd be a great project to recreate the keysend C++ library from scatch. Now, that's something worth while doing. And implementation of more advanced functions in the library would also be beneficial and more customized to your own project.

use the SendMessage function to seend key stroke messages

i was about to say, use the WINAPI sendmessage method :)

Recoding your own library to do that would be such a waste of time.

As mentioned above, try SendMessage() or PostMessage():
