Is fnxBasic a tool to control applications?

[Lifefree]

I think it would be suitable to manage applications but it lacks a function like SendKeys to control another windows.
Could that function easily be included in the language? May be this is enough for this goal. Is the only one I miss.

Hi, I think you could use this api call I guess you must some experiments with the code below.

[Lifefree]

Can all the previous code be included in the new version as a SendKeys() built-in function? The work is already almost done.

Hi how does the sendkey must function because there must be a key down and a key up function otherwise the shift and alt and ctrk can not be used?
best regards
I ve found it I try to add it seems a useful function.
rgds again
