It will placed in an application that calls the old app. It will reset the desktop when the old app closes and returns control to the new app.

Do you see an issue I am missing?

DeadPlanet,
I added this line between the CreateProcess and the keybd_event :


WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess, (DWORD)5000 );


and it appears to be working. Thanks for the help.

That doesn't seem to work. I know the window has keyboard focus because it responds to both the escape and enter keys when I press them.

I have a legacy application that, on occasion, causes the windows fonts to screw up. I have found that, if I simply reset the desktop, it fixes the problem. I do not have the authority, knowledge,...

Finally, an answer instead of a question or a debate! Thank you so much.

brewbuck,
How would I set the control to use the correct codepage?

I do appreciate your eagerness to discuss this and I am sure that you would prove your point very well. That is not, however what I am after. Once again, I am simply asking if it is possible to send...

Any debate is avoidable. Watch . . . .

Thanks for the example. I have adapted it to my application:

Thanks for pointing that out. When I change them to the single quotes, I get:

Can you tell me which key I press for the top left corner of a box outline? My keyboard doesn't seem to have any of these keys :

I am sure this must be simple but I cannot find a way to do it:

There is a legacy app on the "box" and a receiver side is running on our XP PCs. The receiver portion expects to read data on COM1. The portion in the "box" is Win 95.

Nope. The app runs inside a box that we simply connect to our XP boxes via USB. That "box" connects to sensors and it collects readings that I need to retrieve and monitor.

The application we are dealing with reads and writes to a device via COM1. I do not have control over the code and I am not able to convince my counterparts to make code adjustments on an application...

Since XP allows you to go into device manager and reassign comm ports, I am assuming that it can be don at the OS level. I was just wondering if anyone has an idea of how and what the Device Manager...

Thanks adeyblue! Got it going.

I found it. I had left out a '}' and the compiler didn't catch it. I guess I should be more precise. Thanks for you interest.
