Thread: Trouble with simulating keystrokes

Hi!
i'm trying to simulate key presses and i did this:

Code:

keybd_event('G', NULL, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | 0, 0 );

it wrote lowercase 'g' into notepad, not the uppercase 'G' that i've passed into the function. and when i pass the lowercase:

Code:

keybd_event('g', NULL, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY | 0, 0 );

it writes '7', not 'g'?
So why is this happening? how can i correctly simulate key strokes?

Thanks for any help.
