Title: Send keyboard event
Post by: castro12321 on December 29, 2011, 03:12:33 pm

Is it possible to send keyboard event to other programs?

If i press ctrl+num1 it should write "hello" in notepad.exe or something like that...

Thanks.

Hwnd = findwindow (notepad, Classnamenotepad

THen you get the children , i forget, enum children or then use findwindowEx to ge tthe editbox

No, with SFML you can't open other applications. It's a multimedia library ;)
