Hi all, I would like to know how can I simulate a key down press in an application. I suppose I have to send a message to this application but I am not familiar with this kind of things. Many thanks in advance. Christophe

I never tried to send directly a WM_KEYUP or WM_KEYDOWN message. Why would i, keybd_event does that for me. 09 Oct 2006 11:03:57 -0400, Christophe MINETTI <cminetti@ulb.ac.be> wrote: > Hi all, > > I would like to know how can I simulate a key down press in an > application.

I am using a commercial application that does full screen previews of files. What I would like to do is to create an application with a timer that sends to this commercial application a message as if I was cliking on Page Down (to pass to the next file).

This actual information should have been provide on your first question ! keybd_event works inside an application, not outside. Here is what i would try in such a situation. Find the proper window's handle. Instructions like FindWindow or EnumWindows could be used. Post a pair of messages WM_KEYUP and WM_KEYDOWN. __ JF Jolin

This link discusses keybd_event http://web.archive.org/web/20040622202204/www.bcbdev.com/faqs/faq77.htm In your case, it might be simpler to send scroll messages to the window, rather than keyboard events.
