SendInput() Keyboard letters C/C++

Question

I am trying to use SendInput() to send a sentence to another application (Notepad) and then send it hitting the Enter Key.

Any code snippets?

Answer 1

INPUT input;
WORD vkey = VK_F12; // see link below
input.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
input.ki.wScan = MapVirtualKey(vkey, MAPVK_VK_TO_VSC);
input.ki.time = 0;
input.ki.dwExtraInfo = 0;
input.ki.wVk = vkey;
input.ki.dwFlags = 0; // there is no KEYEVENTF_KEYDOWN
SendInput(1, &input, sizeof(INPUT));

input.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;
SendInput(1, &input, sizeof(INPUT));
