asked on

DLL/API that allows you to output "from the keyboard"?

Does anyone here know of a DLL with a command or a Windows API that lets you output text to whatever the active program is, giving the illusion that the text is coming from the keyboard. I'm trying to write a program (in BBC Basic for Windows) that outputs the currently playing song from winamp to any program :)
