Thread: keyboard fonctions

Hey guys,

Im using this code to write "hi" to notepad:

Code:

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500 
#include "windows.h"

void SendKey(BYTE vKey)
{
INPUT Input;
ZeroMemory(&Input, sizeof(Input)); 
Input.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD; 
Input.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY;
Input.ki.wVk = vKey; 
SendInput(1, &Input, sizeof(INPUT));
}

int main()
{
HWND Notepad = FindWindow("Notepad", 0);
if(!Notepad) return 0;

SetForegroundWindow(Notepad);
Sleep(500);

SendKey((UCHAR)VkKeyScan('h'));
SendKey((UCHAR)VkKeyScan('i'));
return 0;
}

But if the notepad is minimized it won't work. Is there a way to write "Hi" to it WHILE IT IS MINIMIZED?

I think keybd_event() is obsolete.

All right! thanks
