I'm sure the problem of simulating the stylus input can be helped (I do it
it slightly differently, see
http://www.alexfeinman.com/download.asp?doc=IMSwitch.zip for a sample that
turns on numeric mode on the soft keyboard), but I think you are approaching
it in a wrong way.

If all you need is to drive calc.exe, use keyboard input - by sending
WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP (or maybe even WM_CHAR) you can do all you need with
the calc
