type patches. It takes text and converts a string to the ascii values. I had to use upper case characters since your external only accepts upper case ascii values since that is how the key codes are defined. I didn't want to get fancy yet and use shift etc. I think it would be great to create an external that takes ascii characters directly. I think you can then use vkkeyscan to convert to the key codes which your external takes.
Maybe it would have been better to use SendInput() rather than kbd_event(), but I haven't been able to figure out how to use the first.
Have you looked at sendkeys . This could simpliy things as well. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8c6yea83.aspx
This method looks far better, thank you, I'll try to use it...
I could work with either. I wonder is there is a way to direct the keypress to the desired window (program) . Currently the cursur has to be in the window where you want to recieve keypresses. Maybe using the SetFocus http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646312(VS.85).aspx or SetActiveWindow function you could direct the keyboard input to the desired application? I can see that the feature request is growing : ) .
SetFocus() is interesting, and would be used with a bunch of other methods like GetWindow(), GetChildWindows(), for choosing which windows will be focused. Now I'd be interested to know how to do it with X11.
