The WM_KEYDOWN message is a notification message. You can't send a window a notification message and expect that to have the same effect as the event to which the notification message heralds....In other words the concept of sending a window a WM_KEYDOWN message in order to symulate a keystroke is a faulty one.

Not to leave you without an alternative solution here are some alternatives you can try...SendInput (WinNT/2000/XP)

How do you use SendInput because it's saying its a undeclared identifier?immortal20 at 2007-11-11 1:29:26 >
