SendKeys does not work??

[alfredp77]

Hi all...

I write a simple program to simulate keystrokes to another application. Basically I use AppActivate and SendKeys, so it is something like this:

'make the app active
AppActivate(strWindowTitle)
SendKeys(strKeys)

It works fine for standard windows applications (Notepad, Excel, Word.. you name it). But when it comes to a program that is being run from Citrix Program Neighborhood, SendKeys fail to send the keystrokes (AppActivate still succeed in bringing the window on top).

I have tried using keybd_event and even SendInput. But it still does not work.

Anyone knows what might be the problem? I'm running out of ideas ...

Thanks.

Sendkeys works only well with Windows applications. DOS windows and ICA client windows require a different procedure using Windows API's. A good example can be found at this URL--

Can you get your app onto the Citrix server, so it is 'local' to the App you want to Sendkeys to?
