SendMessage - using for forms

[Guest]

I Have a question. I use C# to send messages for other wondows.
In my example it is windows notepad.exe
So after I found handle of this window I can send WM_CHAR event.
But I need help with other two types of events.
How can I send
1) Some system key like "F5" ?
2) some combination of them? For example Alt + V ?

This is code which use now.

[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern Int32 FindWindow(String lpClassName, String
lpWindowName);

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern int SendMessage(int hWnd, int msg, int wParam,
int lParam);


[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
public static extern IntPtr FindWindowEx(IntPtr parentHandle, IntPtr
childAfter, string className, string windowTitle);

private const int WM_KEYDOWN = 256;

int hwnd = FindWindow(null, "1.txt - Notepad");
if (hwnd != 0)
{
IntPtr hwndChild = IntPtr.Zero;
hwndChild = FindWindowEx((IntPtr)hwnd, IntPtr.Zero, "Edit", null);

int Key = (int)'D';
//send BN_CLICKED message
SendMessage((int)hwndChild, WM_CHAR, (int)Key, 0);

IntPtr first = new IntPtr(1);
IntPtr second = new IntPtr((int)3F);

//send F5
Keys key = Keys.F5;
SendMessage((int)hwndChild, WM_KEYDOWN, (int)key, 1 | (int)3F);
}

For Alt=V, use the WM_SYSKEYDOWN followed by WM_SYSKEYUP window message.
For F5, use WM_KEYDOWN followed by WM_KEYUP

For Alt=V, use the WM_SYSKEYDOWN followed by WM_SYSKEYUP window message.
For F5, use WM_KEYDOWN followed by WM_KEYUP

thanks. But I know that. Can you give me an example what I should put in
parametrs?

something like that

SendMessage((int)hwndChild, WM_KEYDOWN, (int)key, LPARAM );
SendMessage((int)hwndChild, WM_KEYUP, (int)key, LPARAM );

The question is what should be in LPARAM ????

The LPARAM consists of various flags combined to make an int. The flags are
desribed in the docs for the messages.
