I doubt that this is even possible with 'WM_KEYDOWN' for the Alt key:

| The 'WM_KEYDOWN' message is posted to the window with the
| keyboard focus when a nonsystem key is pressed. A nonsystem key
| is a key that is pressed when the ALT key is /not/ pressed.

I use PostMessage to drive an application by sending it keyboard events. Messages that are sent with no modifiers are processed well. As an example, the '.' key message sent here: My messages: Recognized: "Release brakes" Message: 0x100 wParam: 0xbe lParam: 0x340001 Message: 0x102 wParam: 0x2e lParam: 0x340001 Message: 0x101 wParam: 0xbe lParam: 0xc0340001

Hi, Using P/Invoke I use PostMessage to send a message from one thread to another. I'm pretty sure this has already worked in dotnet. but I've upgraded version 2 few day ago. Now I have an illegal cross thread operation if posting a message. Is this a bug introduced in latest version of dotnet ? It is very legal to use postmessage because the message will execute in context of the thread the one was posted to. Same with...

When using PostMessage to post myself a message, the msg and wparam parameters somehow get swapped over. They are in the correct order when calling PostMessage but by the time wndproc handles the message msg is now in the wparam position and msg is set to 0 (NULL message). Does anyone know why this behaviour is occurring ? I've included a simple test form below to illustrate this...

When I use the SendMessage API I can sucessfully send and receive a user defined message. When I use the PostMessage API I can NOT sucessfully send and receive the same user defined message.

Can anyone explain why PostMessage to a Windows Form is considered unsafe and raises InvalidOperationException? I can get rid of that setting CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls to false and everything works just fine. Still I feel somewhat uncomfortable. Sergei

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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.
