Findwindow and SendMessage

Question

I am trying to figure out why this is not sending a ALT+F to notepad,

Private Declare Function FindWindow1 Lib \"user32\" Alias \"FindWindowA\" (ByVal lpClassNam         


        

Answer 1

Use Postmessage instead of Sendmessage

Public Const WM_SYSKEYDOWN = &H104

PostMessage hwnd, WM_SYSKEYDOWN, vbKeyF, 2 ^ 29 

'Simulates Alt + F (2^29 sets the 29 bit of lParam indicating Alt is being pressed.
