#include <windows.h>

int main {}
{
for(;;){
Sleep(1000);
keydb_event(VkKeyScan('F5'),0,0,0);
keydb_event(VkKeyScan('F8'),0,0,0);
}
return 0;


it does not work =[ and it doesn't attach to the process.. can anyone help me fix it, thanks

Your only sending a KEY_DOWN. you also need to send a KEY_UP. And add a sleep (10-20 milliseconds) between the 2 keys. Don't know if it will fix your problem, but that's how I did it.

...and it doesn't attach to the process
What do you mean by that ?
