what are sendkeys?

What are sendkeys? I have heard of them manytimes, just never had to use them.

Thanks!

SendKeys simulates keystrokes, and sends them to the currently active window.

ie:

Text1.SetFocus
SendKeys "h"

Will simulate a keystroke of the H key and put it into Text1.

so it is like typing. But the computer is the one typing? Why do people use them to send info to other programs then?

I use it to trick people into thinking their computer is possessed. It's awesome that use can make the computer auto type stuff.
