AppActivate & SendKeys

[Skreen]

Are there any API equivalents to these VB methods?

Use the SetForegroundWindow and the SendMessage API functions.


Private Declare Function SendMessage _
Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As _
Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Integer, _
ByVal lParam As Any) As Long

Private Declare Function SetForegroundWindow _
Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

Private Const WM_SETTEXT = &HC


Private Sub Command1_Click()
SetForegroundWindow hwnd
SendMessage hwnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, ByVal "Text"
End Sub

Actually not. The WM_SETTEXT method differents from SendKeys. The SendKeys function is actually a series of WM_CHAR messages, but using WM_SETTEXT is easier.

Thanks for sharing Megatron.
So that's why the text comes out slowly like that?

Ah, so much free time :D.

Well, I haven't really noticed anything like that, but i'm not suprised if it does this.
