Whats SendKeys of VB in C++

[chaitu]

Hi,

Any idea whats the alternative of SendKeys method of VB in C++/VC++.
SendKeys of VB sends key strokes to any application specified, as if entered from the keyboard.

Tried WinExec() & OpenProcess() to get a handle, but this handle cannot be used in SendMessage().

All I want is, through my application, I need to opeon windows explorer and senesome key strokes to it.

Thanks in adv,
Chaitu

You can send message only to windows. Try to get the handle to window where do you want to send messages. Also you could send thread messages SendThreadMessage. John Fill

To get a handle of the window you can use:

EnumThreadWindows:GetCurrentThreadId(VOID),
(WNDPROC)MyCallbackProc,0);

BOOL CALLBACK MyCallbackProc(
HWND hwnd, // handle to window
LPARAM lParam // application-defined value
);

inside MyCallbackProc you will receive the hwnd you want. then you can use SendMessage on this hwnd.

Hope this helps,

How can click on "Cancel" button of one window(there are three buttons) in another application by using VC++ or API. I can get window handle. But how can I send "ENTER" message to "Cancel" button. It is not focus yet. Please provide simple code.

As far as I know, this is not possible under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, as Microsoft tightened the permissions for doing this. Maybe someone else here knows how to do it?
