When i try to send two letters using keybd_event:
i get:Code:keybd_event('m', 0, 0, 0); keybd_event('m', 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0); keybd_event('n', 0, 0, 0); keybd_event('n', 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
Instead of m, '-'
Instead of n, '.'
It send capital letters and numbers fine, but lower-case letters, and symbols dont work at all.
Here is the list of Virtual-Key Codes.
Notice that the alpha keyboard keys coorespond to uppercase ascii codes. So 'A' is the A keyboard key, which can be "a" or "A" depending on the state of the shift keys and caps lock key.
Look at the example for keybd_event() to see how to get keyboard state information.

so in other words send your kb_events to do this:
1. Depress Shift key
2. Depress A key
3. Release A key
4. Release Shift key

What about for commas, exclamations, etc?
I tried depressing "," and releasing it but i didnt get the comma
Did you completely ignore Codeplug's post?
Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

No i went to the links Codeplug provided, and the in the list of VK codes, the only "," I could see was one for Windows 2000/XP.
To me, that only implies that you're garenteed to ge a comma character regarless of the country/region, if its Win2k/XP. Doesn't say anything about it's lack of availability.VK_OEM_COMMA (BC)
Windows 2000/XP: For any country/region, the ',' key
I would try it out.
Otherwise, you can use VkKeyScan() to get the correct virtual keycode and keyboard state for a character.
