keyboard control

[frank22]

Hi guys,
Im beginner to vb6. I know to control the key press events within a textbox, rtb etc and that works fine within vb6 project.
My query is that how can we control/change the keypress events outside the vb like in word, notepad, wordpad etc.

Thanks in advance.

The simplest way is using AppActivate and SendKeys

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    ' Use this if you know the title of the app you want to send to
    AppActivate "untitled - notepad"
    SendKeys "Hello!{enter}"
    
'    ' Use this to send to any foreground app (manually activated by you)
'    Me.WindowState = vbMinimized
'    SendKeys "Hello!{enter}"
'    Me.WindowState = vbNormal
End Sub
