Simulating keyboard presses from a string
I have attempted to make a function to use keybd_event(), however, when i use the function, only the first 4 letters of the string are typed.
My header file:

#include <windows.h>
void kout(char * kp)
{
int length=sizeof(kp);
for(int i=0;i<length;i++)
{
keybd_event(VkKeyScan(kp[i]),0,0,0); //depress
keybd_event(VkKeyScan(kp[i]),0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0); // release!
Sleep( 100 );
}
}

char* mystring = "There is no Caled.";
kout(mystring);

} //end F12
} //end infinite for
}//end main curly brace

It will only print ther, any help would be appreciated.
sizeof(kp) returns the size of a pointer (4 bytes), try using strlen
thank you for pointing out my error, i appreciate the help greatly! I really did not realize there were two things like that!
