Board index » cppbuilder » Q: Keystroke to console application

Hi,
I need to send (simulate) key presses to a console apllication.
I already have a pipe to that apllication for std-out reading
and supposed I could use this for that purpose like:
WriteFile(WritePipeHandle,"q",1,&bytesWritten,NULL);
but this seems not to be the same as pressing the "q" character
on the keyboard.
Can someone help me out?
Chris.

I can use this but I'll have to make the console application
window active first before using it.
I know there are ways to do this if I have a handle to it
but have to look it up.
Thanks,
Chris.
