How to simulate keyboard keys ?

[novainf...@ibm.net]

Hi everybody,

Does anybody know how can I send a key press to the buffer ?

Anything like VB command 'Keyboard' ...

Thank you very much...

the following would send simulate a CTRL HOME key while the a memo component
has focus. The postmessage command would also work.

sendmessage(memo1.handle, wm_keydown, 17,0);
sendmessage(memo1.handle,wm_keydown,36,0);
sendmessage(memo1.handle,wm_keyup,36,0);
sendmessage(memo1.handle, wm_keyup,17,0);

Hope this helps

Or, bypass Windows message queue by using Delphi's Perform()
method. Like so...

Memo1.Perform(WM_KEYDOWN, VK_CONTROL, 0);
Memo1.Perform(WM_KEYDOWN, VK_HOME, 0);
Memo1.Perform(WM_KEYUP, VK_CONTROL, 0);
Memo1.Perform(WM_KEYUP, VK_HOME, 0);

Enjoy,
