Sendkeys doesn't work very good

for I := 1 to 10000 do
application.ProcessMessages;
Sendkeys(PChar('^A'),true);
for I := 1 to 10000 do
application.ProcessMessages;
Sendkeys(PChar('^C'),true);
for I := 1 to 10000 do
application.ProcessMessages;

This should select all text, then copy it but it doesn't. Has anyone ever
gotten this to work? I can do other things like altF4 to close a window
and that works fine. I can manually do a control A and control C and it
copies ok. I got the sendkeys code off of the Delphi 7 install disk.

Re:Sendkeys doesn't work very good

Nevermind. Forget this and my other post also. The problem with this one was
the uppercase A and C. Lowercase a and c is the way it works.
