On clicking search button, CTRL + F action should happen. How to trigger keybd_event method for keys CTRL  &  F together?

Why can't you just have the button click event and the window key event both call the same window function.

Greetings, Naveen -

Are you wanting to send the simulated Ctrl+F keystrokes internally to your PB application or to another application from your PB application?

Hi,

 

Sorry for the multiple corrections. The keyb_event API is obsolete, but does still kinda works.

Maybe this will help.

I've tried to use the send() function, and some things like "DEL" work, but others like "BACKspace" don't.

I'm going to post this as a separate question.
