Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it.

Simulating keypress with SendMessage

Asked by Sys_Prog in Windows Programming

Tags: sendmessage, keypress, simulate

Hi,

I am facing a problem simulating a keypress by a sendmessage

I wish to simulate pressing ALT+C to a particcular window

Actually the window has a hyperlink which has a shortcut as ALT+C

I have a handle to that window, and wish to send ALT+C to this window
Hence i tried sending the following messages

                 SendMessage ( handle, WM_SYSKEYDOWN, 18, 540540929) ;
                  SendMessage ( handle, WM_SYSKEYDOWN, 67, 539885569) ;
                  SendMessage ( handle, WM_SYSCHAR, 99, 539885569) ;
                  SendMessage ( handle, WM_SYSKEYUP, 18, -1070071807 ) ;
                  SendMessage ( handle, WM_KEYUP, 67, -1070727167) ;

but it does not work.................If I create a dummy window (using basic SDK programming) and process the keyboard messages writing them to a file, I am able to receieve all these message..........But the messages do not seem to work work on the actual window I want them to work on............ON clicking on the hyperlink OR pressing ALT+C, the window opens a new window

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I posted a similar question (but it was entitlled HOOks, hence posting it again)...
