Help in patching wine to NOT filter keyboard/mouse messages

[linuxs64]

I'm trying to send stimulated keyboard/mouse events via xdotool, to wine apps/games (minimized) but not getting any response, found a lead that could solve this issue.

Been trying for 3 weeks to fix this. Tried liboverride & xsendevent, but only worked for X apps, not wine. http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/tags/xsendevent

But I am not good in programming

Some info about the patch/hack, responsible for filtering keyboard messages for inactive windows in wine. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16781#p80099

source file, /wine/server/queue.c, https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blo ... er/queue.c

function find_hardware_message_window

Please change to allow messages to non-focused/minimized windows, thank you

Were you able to figure this out? Can anyone else point me in the right direction to find the message the window was intended for? (i.e. the window ID sent by xdotool or other applications that send hardware messages)
