Thread: sending keys

I just can't get it to work... can anyone tell me the code they would use to send a key to something like notepad and have it read it as if it were you hitting a key on the keyboard?

Like this -

Code:

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{

	HWND hwnd=0;

	//Get main notepad handle
	while(hwnd==0)
		hwnd = FindWindow("Notepad",0);

	HWND hwndEdit =0;

	//Get notepad edit control
	while(hwndEdit==0)
		hwndEdit = FindWindowEx(hwnd,0,"edit",0);

	//write an 'a'
	TCHAR test = 'a';
	SendMessage(hwndEdit,WM_CHAR,test,0);

	return 0; 
}

It worked!! Thank you so much!
