WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP combination

<div>
SendMessage(handle, WM_CHAR, $41, 0); // sends 'A' to a command prompt window (handle)
</div>


SendMessage(handle, WM_CHAR, $41, 0); // sends 'A' to a command prompt window (handle)

<div>
A more readable version is:<br />
SendMessage(h, WM_CHAR, Ord('A'), 0);
</div>


A more readable version is:
SendMessage(h, WM_CHAR, Ord('A'), 0);

Hello,<br />
<br />
I want to send a key-sequence, &quot;abcdef&quot; for example, to the dos command prompt with the sendMessage function.<br />
I can get the handle, no problem, but after i didn't know what is the WM_COMMAND to send text.<br />
I've tried with WM_SETTEXT but that change the caption of the console... <br />
<br />
That's all ;-)<br />
