Sending Paste Message

[Gilfrog]

I am having trouble sending a paste message to windows in visual studio, word and excel. Sending the wm_paste message seems to work on normal edit controls and rich edit controls but not these others. I get the window with focus and send it a wm_paste message. Are these different type of window's, should i send them a ctrl-v message? If so how do i send that message, Send a wm_keydown for v, but how do i say the ctrl is pressed. Thanks Scott

I can send the keydown for v but my main question now is How to set the state of the control key to be pressed when i send the keydown message? Scott
