Loop repeated do statement with mouse left button variable click & hold - c++

Question

Hey, currently testing a autoclicker for a few games, I am quite new to C++
How can I use left mouse button to run a do statement for the mouse click function without it stopping the do statement
I've tried different flags including :
input.mi.dwFlags = (MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP);
with mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF)
do {
if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) & 0x80000000) {
enabled = true;
while (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) & 0x80000000) {
Sleep(1000 / cps);
INPUT input;
input.type = INPUT_MOUSE;
input.mi.dx = 0;
input.mi.dy = 0;
input.mi.dwFlags = (MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP);
input.mi.mouseData = 0;
input.mi.dwExtraInfo = NULL;
input.mi.time = 0;
SendInput(1, &input, sizeof(INPUT));
}
}
} while (true);
I am trying to make it so when you hold down left click, it runs the while statement containing the autoclicking function, without stopping the while statement due to repetitive clicking.

Answer 1

There is something you should notice in your code:
First, How to judge the return value of GetAsyncKeyState()
If the function succeeds, the return value specifies whether the key
was pressed since the last call to GetAsyncKeyState, and whether the
key is currently up or down. If the most significant bit is set, the
key is down, and if the least significant bit is set, the key was
pressed after the previous call to GetAsyncKeyState. However, you
should not rely on this last behavior; for more information, see the
Remarks.
the type of return value is SHORT which is 2 bytes. So try GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) & 0x8000 instead.
Second, How to use SendInput() to send different mouse state.
You should create a new INPUT data to save different action, but not just combine all of them.
Code Sample:
do {
if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) & 0x8000)
{
enabled = true;
while (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) & 0x8000)
{
INPUT input[2];
input[0].type = input[1].type = INPUT_MOUSE;
input[0].mi.dx = 0;
input[0].mi.dy = 0;
input[0].mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN;
input[1].mi.dx = 0;
input[1].mi.dy = 0;
input[1].mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP;
SendInput(2, input, sizeof(INPUT) * 2);
}
}
} while (true);
