How do I send keystrokes to Notepad/Wordpad? faq222-884

Here is a simple but effective code used to send keystrokes
to Notepad / Wordpad.

Sending text to another program
------------------------------------------------------------

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal Msg As Long, wParam As Any, lParam As Any) As Long
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32.dll" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWndParent As Long, ByVal hwndChildAfter As Long, ByVal lpszClass As String, ByVal lpszWindow As String) As Long

Const WM_SETTEXT = 12

Public Sub ToNotePad(x As String)
'assuming notepad is open
Dim h As Long, ed As Long, t As Long
h = FindWindow("Notepad", "Untitled - Notepad&quot
If (h <> 0) Then
ed = FindWindowEx(h, 0, &quot;Edit&quot;, &quot;&quot
If (ed <> 0) Then
SendMessage ed, WM_SETTEXT, ByVal 0, ByVal x
Else
MsgBox &quot;Could not find notepad's edit&quot;
End If
Else
MsgBox &quot;Could not find notepad&quot;
End If
End Sub
