SendKey Question

[M626]

I am using sendkey to work with another program... but it won't wirte to the application even though I do have the app active. Can someone tell me if there is another way to do sendkey? here is what i have tried:

SendKeys "{ENTER}", (1)
SendKeys (vbTab)

SendKeys "{ENTER}", true ' wait
SendKeys "{TAB}", true
Is the only way I know of.

No that didn't work.

Try this

Option Explicit

Private Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = &H2
Private Const VK_TAB = &H9
Private Const VK_RETURN = &HD

Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, _
ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)

Private Sub cmdEnterTab_Click()

'Code here to set the focus to where you want the keys sent

keybd_event VK_RETURN, 0, 0, 0
keybd_event VK_RETURN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0
DoEvents
keybd_event VK_TAB, 0, 0, 0
keybd_event VK_TAB, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0
End Sub
If you choose to battle wits with the witless be prepared to lose.

This still doesn't send the keys to the Citrix app...
I did see that citrix does provide a "Wfica.ocx" file
...I never used ocx files but Can I use that to send
tabs,enter and paste to the Citrix App...

is there a way to do a sendkeys without activating the app? (ie without flipping back and forth between your VB and app windows?)

I tried to do it without making it active but it didn't work.
