Mouse and Keyboard sluggishness

problem defination :
I have written one application which does lot of cpu intensive
operation , which would take up to 50% cpu continuosly , as result of
this whole opertaing system becomes sluggish , meaning mouse and
keyborad
becomes unresponsive .

I mainly consider this behavior is because of inability of windows to
to procrss the keyboard and mouse MESSAGES. From my appliacation i can
process MessageQueue of my thread and hence its mouse and keyboard
events, but how do i do it for for whole oprating system.

Any suggestions will be helpfull.

Greetings, I have a very simple question. How do you simulate a user input to turn off a screen saver in Windows (either a mouse movement, mouse click, or keyboard input)? I promise I searched the newsgroup before asking :) I have written the following program that loads all my Webshots files into the Webshots photo manager, or so I thought. When you load the first it starts the screen saver. All other subsequent ones are not

Is it just me or are there no good librarys out there to access the keyboard or mouse? I have been looking around for a while now and can only find ones that are bundled with a bunch of other stuff that I dont need (SDL, GLUT). I just need a simple platform independant way to access the keyboard and mouse. Anyone know of any good ones?

I am using Visual C# .NET 2003 to make a ComboBox accept both mouse and keyboard selection. For mouse selection code, I double-clicked ComboBox to get the default "comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged" event. This code (see below) by itself works as expected with a mouse. But when using keyboard arrows to navigate the ComboBox drop- down, the SelectedIndexChanged event is triggered which is what I don't want using the keyboard. Instead, I want...

Hi! I've developed an application, and I want to use a semi opac form to show the help. The idea is to show the transparent help form on top (TopMost = True)and still be able to work with the application underneath. By setting CausesValidation = False, it ignores keyboard action so thats OK, but it still hooks the mouse clicks. Does anybody know how to disasble the mouse hook in the form? (Or other work around?) Have messed around with...

Hi all, I have been searching for a keyboard and mouse tracker on linux. I've read solutions (watch at sourceforge) which look at /proc/interrupts to check keyboard or mouse activity. I also read one post where "watch" seems to have difficulty tracking usb keyboards and mice. So, I'm out of ideas here. My goal are: 1. Check keyboard activity. I'm not interested in logging which keys are pressed or record them.

I have an application that NEEDS (don't ask) to handle additional mouse and keyboard processing during DoDragDrop. Normally, DoDragDrop kindly squashes all keyboard and mouse events. Alternate, more specific events, are used in their stead such as DragEnter, DragLeave, DragHover, GiveFeedback, and QueryContinueDrag. None of these give me access to the general state of the keyboard or to mouse events ( in my case I really need the mouse...

Is it possible to simulate a mouse click in the window I made (it's a Form), but not give it focus? I tried using WinAPI's mouseevent and SendMessage of WM_LBUTTONDOWN/WM_LBUTTONUP as suggested by the folks in #winapi on EFnet, but I think those require the window to have focus. Either that, or I'm doing something else wrong. The click actually seems to work once, and then stops working... I have no idea what is the problem actually....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
