Simulate User Input

[Guest]

Hi there,
I'm writing a small app for the PocketPC 2003 using C#. My app should simply
open the Calculator and simulate some key presses (of course im using
P/Invoke). Opening the calc.exe was no problem, but I can't get the 'magic'
input work correctly. By using 'mouse_event' for simulating user input, the
upper left 'Start' button is being pressed (seems strange 'cause I thing the
handle to the Calculator is O.K.) and using 'PostMessage' and 'SendMessage'
have no effect at all.
Can someone help me with this problem please?

I'm sure the problem of simulating the stylus input can be helped (I do it
it slightly differently, see
http://www.alexfeinman.com/download.asp?doc=IMSwitch.zip for a sample that
turns on numeric mode on the soft keyboard), but I think you are approaching
it in a wrong way.

If all you need is to drive calc.exe, use keyboard input - by sending
WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP (or maybe even WM_CHAR) you can do all you need with
the calc

Hi Alex,
that's exactly what a newbie like me has been searching for.
Thank you very much.
