Simulate a 360 mouse movement inside a game using SendInput

Question

Ok so, I have this code right now which makes the mouse cursor move to the right as long as you hold down the Z key on the keyboard.

Code:

if (GetAsyncKeyState(0x5A))
{
    cMouseInput mInput;
    mInput.MouseMove(1, 0);  // Right
    //mInput.MouseMove(-1, 0); // Left
}

The function:

void cMouseInput::MouseMove(int X, int Y)
{
    double fScreenWidth = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) - 1;
    double fScreenHeight = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) - 1;
    double fX = X * (65535.0f / fScreenWidth);
    double fY = Y * (65535.0f / fScreenHeight);

    INPUT mInput = { 0 };
    mInput.type = INPUT_MOUSE;
    mInput.mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE;
    mInput.mi.dx = fX;
    mInput.mi.dy = fY;

    SendInput(1, &mInput, sizeof(INPUT));
}

Now, I want it to do a full circle spin( a 360 basically ) inside a game with just 1 key press . And also while it is doing that spin, I want to execute another key-press 4 times.

I can't figure out a good way to do this.. maybe using a timer would be a good idea?

Like, Start timer on key-press -> execute other key-press -> End timer and release key

But how would I go about this?

Answer 1

I managed to do what I wanted (in what might not be the best way, but it does what I intended for it to do..)

if (GetAsyncKeyState(i1x1Value) & 1)
{
    cMouseInput mInput;

    int iCount = 0;
    HANDLE hTimer = CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE, FALSE, NULL);
    while (iCount < 4)
    {
        WaitForSingleObject(hTimer, i1x1Sleep); // Wait for x amount
        mInput.MouseMove(50, 0); // Right

        iCount++; // Repeat 4 times
    }
    CloseHandle(hTimer);
}

If u have any suggestions to improve this, please do say.
