Generating keyboard events 1

[tolemac]

Hi,
I'm trying to make an application that sends keyboard events to other applications. For example if I want to auto complete the fields of a form (like name, address, phone no., etc. ) I need to generate some keyboard events like: <name> <tab> <address> <tab> <phone no.>
The problem is that i don't know how to generate a keyboard event. Could anyone give me an example of how to generate keyboard events?

Thank you and please excuse my poor English.

I've used the keybd_event function in order to simulate a print-screen key press. thread102-392160

Here's more information directly from Microsoft about it:

It should just be a case of looking up the Virtual Key (VK) codes and plugging them into the keybd_event function.

You can find the VK codes at the following site:

Hope this helps!
