I use SendInput API for sending keystrokes to an application and then use a 
loop for waiting a time :
for(int y=0;y< iTempo;y++)Application->ProcessMessages();
but this doesn't work at all time because it depends on the time that the 
application target takes for handling the keystrokes.
So Does someone get a way for waiting the exacte time until an application 
handle the keystrokes ?

What does the application do that you need to wait for?
Wharever it is, wait for that to happen.

If you are sending multiple SendInput(), you might try sending
an array of keystokes instead of one-at-a-time.

You might also look at using SendMessage()

What about

keybd_event(VK_TAB, 0, 0, 0);
VK_TAB can be any virtual keycode

Just an idea though

Kind regards
