Hi,

I need to select the first cell of a TStringGrid in another application. I
found that pressing CTRL-HOME does this. So I tried to send
VK_CONTROL/VK_HOME to the string grid in the other application but somehow
it looks as if only the HOME key is processed. (Pressing HOME moves the
selection rectangle to the first cell in a row)

Here is the code sequence I have tried (hwnd is the HWND of the
TStringGrid):

SendMessage(hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_CONTROL, 0);
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_HOME, 0);
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_KEYUP, VK_HOME, 0);
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_KEYUP, VK_CONTROL, 0);

Anything wrong with this?

thanks for any idea,
Nick
