How do I make the computer a Key was Pressed

[Wings]

Hi,
I need to amke the computer think that the Num Lock key was pressed inorder to return the Number Key pad to their original values eg: a 9 is a "9" key, not a "Pg Up" key.

I need to do this without actually pressing the key

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

you could physically change the state of num lock. that would do the same thing, instead of having to account for evenr key press, and discrimination between the actual num lock, insert, etc and the number ones.

try this:

if it's not what you want, let me know. Cyprus

or so:
keybd_event(VK_NUMLOCK,0,KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | 0,0);
keybd_event(VK_NUMLOCK,0,KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0);
Both keybd_event turns off and turns on the Num Lock

Thanks for the help, I combined both approaches and it worked perfectly
