Sending Keystrokes to Dialog Boxes/Windows

Post by Ian_ » Wed, 26 Jul 2000 04:00:00



I'm learning Win32 API programming and was wondering if anyone
has a basic code example of sending keystrokes (ALT + Y, ALT +
O, <Enter>, <Tab> etc...) to a dialog box/window ? Or if they
could point me to a website that would contain such code ?

Thanks !

Sending Keystrokes to Dialog Boxes/Windows

I just went to www.codepile.com, did a search for keybd_event and found one
sample that may help you and me (I've been working on a similar problem). I
think you do not want to use keybd_event, because it sends to whatever
window has focus. But the code I just found should help us use WM_CHAR to
send "normal" (a, b, ...) and special characters (arrow, tab, ...) to a
specified window.

1. Sending keystrokes to a DOS box from a Dialog Box.

Hi,
I am trying to send a keystroke to a DOS command prompt from a Dialog Box
application in Win 95. I have found out that a DOS box receives a WM_USER +
26 when a key is pressed. (Did this using Spy++). Does anybody know what the
wParam and lParam are for this? I cannot seem to find this documented
anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Sridhar.
