Help setting up

[iKnowLessThanYou]

See my username. I downloaded it and the folder has "klog_main.cpp" that I do not know how to open, and README which says this: "To change visibility of the window set the #define in line 9 to visible or invisible."

I don't know where I go to change any visibility?

It also says, "Simply compile into an .exe, and then run. Visual Studio is good for this."

How?

That looks like a lot of letters. Can you please explain this to me?

Same issue. No idea what a .cpp file is, but I know it's not something that Visual Studio 2022 Community can build. How is this compiled into an executable??

Also, the visible/invisible is on line 13 as of today. Still no help with "compile with Visual Studio and you're done".. please shed some light on how to compile something that's not a solution file or project in VS.

On line 13 in klog_main.cpp:

https://github.com/GiacomoLaw/Keylogger/blob/ee4868265d9fa9d1972517d9ce9b8ffff286f2fd/windows/klog_main.cpp#L13C26-L13C26

Change:

#define visible // (visible / invisible)

to

#define invisible // (visible / invisible)

To compile, try this:

• New project
• Visual C++ | Win32 | Win32 Project
• Console application
• Empty project
• Uncheck precompiled header
• Right click on source file and add the .cpp file
• Compile with F5

If that doesn't work, try this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/walkthrough-creating-a-standard-cpp-program-cpp?view=msvc-170
