Post subject:  Can poker clients detect Win32 API calls?

I've seen mentions on this forum that PokerStars might be able to detect Win32 API calls, but I haven't seen anybody say with absolute certainty that they can. I've written everything scratch, not using any 3rd party libraries or helpers.

I'm using a "brute force" bitmap scan method to parse tables. I only use 2 Win32 API calls to pull this off:


In the future I plan on using the Win32 API call to manipulate mouse movement and actions to simulate user input. I'm mainly wondering if anybody can tell me with absolute confidence that PokerStars can detect my software making Win32 API calls?

Thanks!

This isn't really my bag, but since there aren't any other answers hopefully it will help.

- http://www.ollydbg.de/ "recognizes procedures, loops, API calls, etc"
- so if the casino can get a copy of your executable, they can find if it calls the Win32 API
- alternatively, they might hook the API calls http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooking and find that there is a very high amount of screen printing going on
