Placing character in the keyboard buffer

[Kocky]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to put a character in the windows keyboard buffer ?
I believe I have to use a API function. I thought using PostMessage with message WM_CHAR.

Any idea's ?

Greetings,

Pascal.

if you want to send char to another application
The following code is used to insert a character into another application - Notepad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject) ;
var g,d:integer;
begin
{Find the main window of the Application}
g:=FindWindow('Notepad',nil) ;
{Find the window of the application's text box}
d:=ChildWindowFromPoint(g,point(50,50)) ;
{Now send it a character!!}
SendMessage(d,WM_CHAR,Ord('A'),0) ;
end;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
