Scott, this is what the journalling hook in Windows allows you to do! Check the documentation of SetWindowsHook for WH_JOURNALRECORD and WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK. Journalling records hardware input events *before* they are dispatched. So if you set the focus to one window, record the input, then set focus to a different window and playback, this should work. NB: journalling also records mouse events, and they are screen-relative. Be careful about using the mouse to select things while journalling... --Bill Turner
