I am struggling with a problem with a virtual keyboard utility. I am using keybd_event to send keys, but it causes ugly screen flicker because you have to shift focus to where you want to send the key. It also creates an additional problem when trying to type into places that select all current text when they get focus (e.g. the 'Address' in IE). Any key overwrites any previous text or the previous key.
I have looked at several virtual keyboard utilities, so have the same problem as mine, but many do not, so I know there must be a way to work around this problem. The ones that work properly either always retain focus, or never get focus (what's up with that?).
Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone been down this road before? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
