so, for you guys that told me how to choose a printer in V6 by using the keybd_event THANK YOU.
It works great.
One question tho - how can you tell it to key a number? I see all the shit, ctrl, alt, up arrow, down arrow, and every single letter - but how do you tell it to enter a number?
keybd_event 18,0 ,0,0 ’ Alt key down
see, 18 is for the alt key. how do I tell it to strike a number? or any other special characters?
Thanks!!
