Send Function key to a game
i have tried this code and did not work
Code:
Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As UInteger, ByVal dwExtraInfo As UInteger)

End Sub
Private Sub press(ByVal mykey As Keys)
keybd_event(CByte(mykey), 0, 0, 0)
keybd_event(CByte(mykey), 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Dim fgWin = GetForegroundWindow()

press(Keys.F8)
End If
End Sub

to make sure i have tried windows 7 On screen keyboard it can send Function keys
also i tried some free virtual keyboard all can send numbers and letters but not Function keys
except This
it is like windows 7 OSK both can send Function keys to the gamesorry for this long story but i want it to be clear
My question : is there any code (VB2010) that can send Function keys to the game like windows 7 OSK ?
Also : Why Windows 7 OSK and
>>> can send Function keys to the game and there are some other free virtual keyboard can't send Function keys>>> which code are using to make it work
I hope some can do it
