On 64-bit Windows 64-bit processes can not use 32-bit DLLs and 32-bit processes can’t use 64-bit DLLs. Microsoft has documented this: On 64-bit Windows, a 64-bit process cannot load a 32-bit dynamic-link library (DLL). Additionally, a 32-bit process cannot load a 64-bit DLL. You would need a 32-bit process that communicates with the 32-bit DLL … Read more
Create an instance of IShellWindows and use that to enumerate all currently open Explorer windows. Using various related interfaces, you can get the window handle and the current folder in form of a PIDL from each item enumerated by IShellWindows. If the window handle is equal to the result of GetForegroundWindow(), convert the PIDL into … Read more

I believe you should not execute the main loop on a different thread. AFAIK, the main loop should be executed on the same thread that created the widget.

try this，it is said coming from M$ HWND hCurWnd = ::GetForegroundWindow(); DWORD dwMyID = ::GetCurrentThreadId(); DWORD dwCurID = ::GetWindowThreadProcessId(hCurWnd, NULL); ::AttachThreadInput(dwCurID, dwMyID, TRUE); ::SetWindowPos(m_hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE); ::SetWindowPos(m_hWnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_SHOWWINDOW | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE); ::SetForegroundWindow(m_hWnd); ::SetFocus(m_hWnd); ::SetActiveWindow(m_hWnd); ::AttachThreadInput(dwCurID, dwMyID, FALSE); In order to bring a window … Read more
No, you don’t need barriers, but your code is broken anyway if readers and writers call these functions in different threads. Especially if a reader calls the read function in a loop. TL:DR: use C++11 std::atomic<long> m_value with return m_value++ in the increment and return m_value in the reader. That will give you sequential consistency … Read more
If stuff like control and alt keys, these are virtual key strokes, they are supplements to characters. You will need to use ReadConsoleInput. But you will get it all, the mouse also. So you really need to filter and return a structure from the call so you know if it is the likes of ctrl-A … Read more
You can’t simulate keyboard input with PostMessage, at least not reliably use SendInput instead.
