sir,
i am creating a software to type my regional language in windows
applications like word, pagemaker, coreldraw, quarkxpress etc. for that
i set a global keyboard hook to get the keyboard input and i
programatically change the pressed keys to my regional language
character and send back to the application using postmessage api. it
works smooth in some applications like pagemaker and word. but it fails
in quark and coreldraw.
in some applications i can't send 'vbkeyback'.
what is the problem with this code?
how can i postmessage to all applications without any problem.
plz help.....
below is my code:

Sub Send_Txt()
Cj = Conjuncts2(frmMain.Text1.Text)
Call PostMessage(frmMain.Timer1.Tag, WM_CHAR, vbKeyBack, Keybrd_Delay)
Call PostMessage(frmMain.Timer1.Tag, WM_CHAR, Asc(Cj), Keybrd_Delay)
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Keybrd_Delay = Val(GetSetting("LEO", "Teddy", "Software", "1"))
End Sub

'' To get foreground window handle...
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Dim hFore As Long, hFocus As Long
If hFocus = 0 Then
hFore = GetForegroundWindow()
Call AttachThreadInput(GetWindowThreadProcessId(hFore, 0&),
GetCurrentThreadId, True)
hFocus = GetFocus
Call AttachThreadInput(GetWindowThreadProcessId(hFore, 0&),
GetCurrentThreadId, False)
End If
Timer1.Tag = hFocus
End Sub

Sub Send_Txt()
Cj = Conjuncts2(frmMain.Text1.Text)
Call PostMessage(frmMain.Timer1.Tag, WM_CHAR, vbKeyBack, Keybrd_Delay)
Call PostMessage(frmMain.Timer1.Tag, WM_CHAR, Asc(Cj), Keybrd_Delay)
End Sub

plz help
