It's not entirely clear what you're looking for. &nbsp;Do you want to send this to an edit control, a dialog box, a button? &nbsp;It kind of depends on what you're trying to do. &nbsp;For example, to generate an enter in a multi-line edit control, I'm sure you could get away with sending a WM_CHAR. &nbsp;But to close a dialog with the default button, WM_COMMAND might be a better choice.<br />
<br />
However, check out the keybd_event() function - or the SendInput() function if you're only coding for Win2000/NT. &nbsp;Are you looking for something like that by any chance?<br />
<br />
Good luck!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to know, how i can send 'ENTER' key signal using windows messages (WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP or WM_CHAR).<br />
<br />
Wich message(s) should i use? <br />
What must be in wParam and what in lParam?<br />
