I'll look into that, it seems as it might work. If D

Thanks.
I tried to test out that de_window library but it doesnt
work out
of the box.
The guy who created it though does post in this forum so
maybe if
he magically finds this thread he can help you and me out.
That would be nice. I'll see if there's a way to PM him
about it. Do
you have any other programming language recommendations in
case this
doesn't work out?
Sorry that functionality of de_window is out of scope of it.
So of
course, it won't work for what you want, it just creates a
window and
a context cross platform with input for that window.
The functionality you are wanting is possible against winapi
and x11
fairly easily. Its just low level. Although X11 is a little
easier as
it can be done via a program on cli.
Unfortunately c/c++ will help you as much as D will in these
cases.
If you run into trouble with those api's we can help you. But
you will
need help, these are topics that aren't recommended for a
newbie.
I'm not quite sure how to receive key presses from other
windows.
Maybe Mike Parker (aldracon) has some ideas.
Do you have plans for making win32 bindings for the sendkeys?
Im interested in this too. Id like to do it with D but ive only
ever been able to accomplish this task with C# and
InputSimulator.
At this point in time, I have no plans for such a library.
However if somebody wishes to implement under the
devisualization org, I'm happy to help.
It's great to have you two joining in on this thread! I'm
excited to see how helpful you have all been, it's really
encouraging me to learn more about this. Two of you guys have
noted that D and C++ might not be the right languages for my
purposes. If they won't work for it, could you make some other
suggestions? I'd really prefer to make it work in D, but if it's
not worth the trouble I'm more than happy to switch to something
simpler. Thanks for your dedication all!
