C++ Autoclicker not exitising loop - c++

Question

so I am trying to make an auto clicker that runs run you hold down the mouse button My current loop looks like However when I run this it just clicks for ever and ever and does not stop when I release the mouse button. Thanks in advance. ps pressed is defaulted as false.
while(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON)&&!pressed)
{
pressed = true;
INPUT Input = { 0 };
// left down
Input.type = INPUT_MOUSE;
Input.mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN;
::SendInput(1, &Input, sizeof(INPUT
// left up
::ZeroMemory(&Input, sizeof(INPUT));
Input.type = INPUT_MOUSE;
Input.mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP;
::SendInput(1, &Input, sizeof(INPUT
cout << "pressed"
sleep_for(milliseconds(100));
pressed = false;
}

Answer 1

First of all, the return value of GetAsyncKeyState has two bits, we only need its highest bit, so we use GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON)&0x8000.
Secondly, the signal sent at the end of the loop simulates the operation of the mouse release, so the return value of GetAsyncKeyState() is 0, and you cannot continue to enter the loop to simulate the click operation of the mouse. Therefore, we should first simulate the mouse release operation, and then simulate the mouse click operation, so that the function can be realized normally.
Finally, SendInput() supports multiple operations at a time, we can build an array of INPUT, and then send the required signals at once, so that you can more easily achieve your needs.
Here is the code you can refer:
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#define INPUT_COUNT 2
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int pressed = false;
while (true)
{
while (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) & 0x8000)
{
pressed = true;
INPUT Input[INPUT_COUNT] = { 0,0 };
Input[0].type = INPUT_MOUSE;
Input[0].mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP;
Input[1].type = INPUT_MOUSE;
Input[1].mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN;
::SendInput(INPUT_COUNT, Input, sizeof(INPUT));
cout << "pressed" << endl;
pressed = false;
Sleep(100);
}
}
return 0;
}
