TMemo

Code:

{************************************************************

* Procedure PostKeyEx

*

* Parameters:

*  hWindow: target window to be send the keystroke

*  key    : virtual keycode of the key to send. For printable

*           keys this is usually the ANSI code (Ord(character))

*           of the UPPERCASE character. See VkKeyScan to obtain

*           the virtual key codes of other characters.

*  shift  : state of the modifier keys. This is a set, so you

*           can set several of these keys (shift, control, alt,

*           mouse buttons) in tandem. The TShiftState type is

*           declared in the Classes Unit.

*  specialkey: normally this should be False. Set it to True to

*           specify a key on the numeric keypad, for example.

*           If this parameter is true, bit 24 of the lparam for

*           the posted WM_KEY* messages will be set.

* Description:

*  This procedure sets up Windows key state array to correctly

*  reflect the requested pattern of modifier keys and then posts

*  a WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP message pair to the target window. Then

*  Application.ProcessMessages is called to process the messages

*  before the keyboard state is restored.

* Error Conditions:

*  May fail due to lack of memory for the two key state buffers.

*  Will raise an exception in this case.

* NOTE:

*  Setting the keyboard state will not work across applications

*  running in different memory spaces on Win32.
