Class_DD - WingRing0 alternative, a vitual keyboard/mouse library

[tmplinshi]

DD is a virtual keyboard/mouse library, used to simulate keys/mouse in hardware driver level.

Unlike WingRing0 that doesn't support USB keyboard, DD even works without a physical keyboard.

Source

Example:

Code: Select all

#Include, class_DD.ahk

DD.str("abc")                     ; Send string abc
DD._key_press("F11")              ; Send hotkey F11
DD._key_press("LWin", "R")        ; Send Win+R
DD._key_press("Ctrl", "Alt", "S") ; Send Ctrl+Alt+S

There are some other methods such as sending mouse button or moving mouse, see the Source page for details.

Limitation:
A network connection is required when loading the DD library (dll file), but once loaded the computer can go offline.

Does not work anymore
I think the developer of DD blocked it

[tmplinshi]

I've updated the dlls to latest version (71598), and now works again.

Thanks! Now it's working fine.

This library is helping me a lot, but I'm afraid that at some point it will stop working and i'll not be able to make it work again (because of the network connection limitation). Do you know any method to make it work offline or a smiliar library to simulate keys in hardware level? I've tried WinRing0 but didn't really worked for me because of the USB Keyboard limitation.

[tmplinshi]

I don't know other similar libraries.

The author of DD provides a paid service for removing the network requirement, you can mail him at this address: [email protected]

cool, im trying it out now

[Gepardsux]

have you tried making a hotkey that spams itself?
For example using F1 key.

I have tried making one, but F1 key is not pressed. But it works when for example binding letter A when F1 key is pressed.

I have contacted the developer regarding this bug, and yet there's still no answer

[tmplinshi]

@Gepardsux

Code: Select all

#Include, class_DD.ahk
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

$f1::settimer, timer1, -1

timer1:
	send {f1}
	msgbox f1
return

$f2::settimer, timer2, -1

timer2:
	DD._key_press("F2")
	MsgBox f2
return

Run the above code, you'll see when pressing F1, the MsgBox only popup once. But pressing F2, the MsgBox is popping up endlessly.

So I think this is not really a bug, but because the "$" symbo has no effect when using non AHK code to send keys.

So I think this is not really a bug, but because the "$" symbo has no effect when using non AHK code to send keys.

I think its still bug though, It doesn't really produce a hard pressed, its more on a soft press/virtual press on a keyboard which won't really give an output.

Try it with this: http://www.keyboardtester.com/
and you'll see what I'm talking about

hi tmplinshi, do you know if there is any way to execute _key_press() on a non-active window? I mean, like the ControlSend command , but with the hardware level send mode that the DD library provides. Also, thanks for sharing this amazing library, keep up the good work!

[tmplinshi]

@legitdisturbed I don't think that is possible for any hardware-level keyboard library.

[raskun]

I know its kinda out of topic, but do you know how to implement this with c#? I tried downloading and checking the solution, but whenever I've tried to bind the dll, it was always failed.

[tmplinshi]

@raskun I don't know C#. But make sure you run the program as admin, and using the correct dll file.

32-bit Windows: "DD\32\ddx32.dll"
64-bit Windows, 64-bit exe: "DD\64\ddx64.64.dll"
64-bit Windows, 32-bit exe: "DD\64\ddx64.32.dll"

how come when i try to run, i get that error?

#Include, class_DD.ahk
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

r::DD._key_press("Numpad5")

[masheen]

I've updated the dlls to latest version (71598), and now works again.

U are best. I'm looking this driver about month.
Can u do anything like ControlSend?
like

dd.sendKey("F1", hwnd)

Sorry for my english

[tmplinshi]

@rebecca I don't know.

@masheen It only works on foreground window.

Guys, how to fix DLL errors? I wrote to the mail, but he didn't answer me. Can there be an alternative to this? With the mousemove. Thx.

Hey Guys!
For the people getting the error (https://i.gyazo.com/8e8139a1764e7951d2a ... 9ee685.png) on script launch its because windows 10 and 8.1 blocks the input because a signed driver is required. The work around to this problem is to disable "Secure Boot" because windows 10 and 8.1 uses this mode to load drivers. Thus if a driver is unsigned its flag as maybe harmful and not loaded.
Secure boot can be disabled in the BIOS under the boot options.
Hope i Helped!

Is Interception not doing the same thing as DD?
Interception has a signed driver and is completely free.
