It is easy to send keys or phrases to an application using Visual Basic. For this example, create a new project and create a command button. Start WordPad and go back to VB. Insert all of the code into the click() event of the command button.
We now want to send some keys or a phrase to WordPad. All
there is to do is to activate the wordpad window: AppActivate "WordPad" And then just send the phrase: SendKeys "This is a test." You can also send commands and special keys: SendKeys "%{F4}" This command sends the "Alt + F4" command and Wordpad. Wordpad will then ask if you would like to save. Now just send the "n" key: SendKeys "n" The Visual Basic help describes in detail how to use theese two commands and contains a listing of codes for special keys like "{BACKSPACE} {BREAK} {ENTER}".
