int to parameter anyway? casting?

Code:

---

void CProcess::SendText(char input[])
{
        HWND hWnd;
        int count, number_of_output = sizeof(input);
        hWnd = FindWindow(0, "Nexus");
       
        ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOW);
        SetForegroundWindow(hWnd);
        Delay(20000);

        for(count=0;count<number_of_output;count++)
        {
                if(input[count] == (char)"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z","0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9")
                {
                        keybd_event("VK_"+input[count],0,0,0);
                }
                if(input[count] == (char)"/0")
                {
                        keybd_event(VK_SPACE,0,0,0);
                }
        }

        return;
}

Thanks

You're trying to pass the literal string "VK_A" (or b, or whatever) - what the function wants is the symbolic constant VK_A

How can I get this to work?

how do I add VK_+value to equal a(n) parameter?

Thanks

Take a look at the virtual keycode list There is no VK_A (AFAIK). Also, the comma operator

Just because it doesn't flag an error doesn't mean it does what you want it to do.

my bad... for thinking there was VK_A.... =( crap I think in VB you can use VK_A...

I know what you guys mean now.. thanks!
