Sending messages to another application

[Richard Lewis]

Hi! I was implementing the On-screen keyboard application that comes with Windows. I have two queries regarding this: 1. I have made my app 'always on top', but the problem is setting focus to the application just below this one. I am aware that SetFocus is useless in this case. I want to find a way to this using GetNextWindow 2. Let's assume notepad is going to be receiving keystrokes via this on-screen keyboard app. Can anyone send me code to this. I have tried something like: DWORD dwProcessID; ::GetWindowThreadProcessId(hForeground,&dwProcessID); ::PostThreadMessage(dwProcessID, WM_KEYDOWN, 65, 1); ::PostThreadMessage(dwProcessID,WM_CHAR, 65,1); ::PostThreadMessage(dwProcessID, WM_KEYUP, 65,1); But this doesnt help. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time Richard

Better to use FindWindow or FindWindowEx and SendMessage or PostMessage Papa while (TRUE) Papa.WillLove ( Bebe ) ;
