#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
int main(){
HWND    hwndNotepad = FindWindowA(NULL,"Untitled - Notepad");
AppActivate(hwndNotepad);
for ( int x = 0; x < 10; x++){
keybd_event(VkKeyScan('H'),0,0,0);
}
return 0;
}


I have searched for this stuff from google about 5 or 6 days, and I still haven't found solution.In google there are so many crap C++ sites that should be deleted from google list.

there are about 3 or4 good C++ sites/tutorials in every 200-300 google links.

with 1 line? I need C++ code line that looks like following:
SomeCommand ("I am cooler than you will ever be"{enter}")
Is is possible to do it thatway?, I suppose it should be, nut I am not sure

That's cool, I've searched the send key code in google and found this page. Works great, but how can I send arrows or "hold" the arrow keys? For example I want to run the program with a game and my charakter for example in Diablo2 should run forward or anything like that. How can I do that?
