Hooking DirectInput C++

We are Hooking DirectInput with C++.
With this we can block data, redirect it to a menu such as ImGui or even simulate input.

Great work as usual. Keep up the good work!!!!

Awesome video! Btw, I have already seen many of your videos and man, you explain everything very well. I remember I had to learn all these things on my own a few years ago, and it was really difficult because I was just lost and didn't even know where to start studying. I'm sure your videos are helping a lot of people that are starting to study game hacking and stuff. Keep up the hard work, I'm sure you'll soon hit a million subscribers!!! (btw, English is not my main language, so sorry about any grammar mistakes...)

Nice tut…what’s the difference of hooking dinput methods and just calling GetAsyncKeyState in the main loop?

Hi, bro. how to make the directinput working even it lost focus? i've already hook SetCooperativeLevel and replace DISCL_FOREGROUND to DISCL_BACKGROUND but the game still can't simulate input when i'm in focus to other window. Thank you

@CasualGamer 7:17, line 24, getFunctionAddress function. Shouldn't be there "uintptr_t pFunction = avTable + index * sizeof(uintptr_t)"?

Amazing tutorial. Can i release key pressing instead c++ send input (this works good, but need arrow which not have scan codes)

[bilibiliyxu]

What do you put for hmodule? Is it even initialized?

Hello, could you do a video about how to check if process is running for external cheats?

[mariusschubert]

Hey, first of all thx for the video

So, I do have a program, that looks for a special event (OpenCV detection of an object) and then plays a sound when found. so it presses "x" on the keyboard (ingame command for scan) every "y"seconds.
Can't run in the background tho, so I set it up + the game in a VM, which costs a lot of resources and is somewhat limiting.

thats why I was looking for hooking the input and then simulating the keypress "x".

At 3:00 : My game uses DirectX12, but from what I can tell, does not use Directinput.
DLLs I found in cheatengine containing "input" are:
"inputhost.dll"
"TextinputFramework.dll"
"xinput9_1_0.dll"
"XInput1_4.dll"

I simply have no clue, where to start / go from here. any advice is appreciated & thx in advance !
(also my program is written in python and I then need to find out dll injection works there)
