This unit includes two routines that simulate popular Visual Basic
routines: Sendkeys and AppActivate. SendKeys takes a PChar
as its first parameter and a boolean as its second, like so:
SendKeys('KeyString', Wait);
where KeyString is a string of key names and modifiers that you want
to send to the current input focus and Wait is a boolean variable or value
that indicates whether SendKeys should wait for each key message to be
processed before proceeding. See the table below for more information.
AppActivate also takes a PChar as its only parameter, like so:
AppActivate('WindowName');
where WindowName is the name of the window that you want to make the
current input focus.
SendKeys supports the Visual Basic SendKeys syntax, asdo
cumented below.
Supported modifiers:
+ = Shift
^ = Control
% = Alt
Surround sequences of characters or key names with parentheses in order to
modify them as a group. For example, '+abc' shifts only 'a', while '+(abc)' shifts
all three characters.
Supported special characters
~ = Enter
( = begin
modifier group (see above)
) = End modifier group (see above)
{ = begin
key name text (see below)
} = End key name text (see below)
Supported characters:
Any character that can be typed is supported. Surround the modifier keys
listed above with braces in order to send as normal text.
Supported key names (surround these with braces):
