I want to send text to some windows - for example, the `dos box` you

find anything. Am I asking the impossible? There must be some way of
sending text to any window, surely?
Sure. But if the window chooses to ignore WM_SETTEXT messages, what
difference does it really make? Try to imagine this in context -- yelling
at a deaf person, doesn't improve the odds of their comprehending what
you're on about, eh?
Sure. But is a dos box death? I can type into it just fine. Perhaps
SendMessage is the wrong API call but surely there's a way of sending
keystokes to it from an app as if they've come from a user typing?
Try Keybd_Event and Console
The Console stuff is a bit painful, but probably the most robust
solution.
