Problem with sending a key to an Editor

[Leonardozwei]

I want to send a Text to an editor i.e. Notepad.
I post them an WM_KEYDOWN message with the Keycode I got from the function VkKeyCode(char), but all chars are convertet to lowercase.

Can anyone tell me why?

Yes, all characters are represented in lowercase - you'll have to explicity press the SHIFT key for uppercase.

// presses the shift key
keybd_event(VK_SHIFT, MapVirtualKey(VK_SHIFT,0),0,0);

// your code goes here

// releases the shift key
keybd_event(VK_SHIFT, MapVirtualKey(VK_SHIFT,0), KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0);

That works fine, thank you.
