I use a touch screen and I want to simulate a keydown event every time
the user starts typing. Is it possible or I have to use API calls?
 
Typing from where?.. a soft keyboard or external one?
As for raising a keyboard event check out keybd_event()
Regards

Amit,

This function has been superceeded in NT 4.0 and above. One should use
SendInput in order to achieve this.
