I’m working on a project where I need to determine the specific shortcut that was used to open the cmd.exe process that is currently running my program. I am not sure where to start with this and would like to know if it is even possible to achieve this API-wise.

I have such a problem I want to automate repetition of actions in applications but the standard UI Automation methods do not work the application asks for a cursor.

I would like to allow users to drag&drop files from the windows explorer, but already fetch some infos about the files even before the user drops them into the application. E.g., to already fetch some metadata or previews of massive files.

I am currently trying to use ReadDirectoryChangesW() to listen for filesystem events on Windows in a directory. In general this works, but I’ve run into an issue: when something just writes to a file (using e.g. WriteFile) no event will be triggered immediately. Instead the event will only be triggered once the file is either closed by the writer, or someone opens a new handle for the same file (assuming that sharing is enabled), but the write itself doesn’t cause the event to trigger, even though the file is in fact written. (Also, this doesn’t even trigger even after a reasonable wait time – if nobody opens and/or closes a file handle for that file after a write operation, no event will be generated at all.)

I am making a little self-contained Dialog class and can’t find any documentation on UnregisterWindowClassEx() regarding when it’s safe to call this function. According to the documentation, you must destroy all windows created with this class before calling this function: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-unregisterclassa

I want to make autoclicker, that is able to click on specific window, f.e. I am playing some game on full screen and I have an opened app, that I need autoclicker to click on. I want to click on it without closing the game.
