I wrote a little program that uses the PrtSc key as a replacement for pressing / clicking the middle mouse key. My program uses the GetAsyncKeyState API function to scan the PrtSc. It works fine.
The problem is that the original functionality of PrtSc continues to work also. So, as long as PrtSc is pressed, screenshots of the desktop are being made. After a brief moment, this leads to some hickups and delays in my screen repainting. So I would like to turn off the 'screenshot function' of PrtSc.
I tried this method of adding a registry key to change the scan code. disable the printscreen keyboard option from windows But this makes the PrtSc key pretty much 'disappear' for Windows. In the sense that GetAsyncKeyState also does not see the keypresses anymore. Does anybody know of a way to 'detach' the screenshot functionality from PrtSc, but in such a way that pressing PrtSc still generates keycodes ...?
