I want to post a keyDown event with a given modifiers value. Can this be done after PostEvent or PPostEvent? Thanks. Rick Giles Bitnet: FRGILES@Acadia.ca Internet: FRGILES%Acadia.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU UUCP: uunet!dalcs!aucs!ifocs9d

Thanks. It can be done with Enqueue. Here's one that does a cmd-shift-9: EvQEl thePress; thePress.qType=evType; thePress.evtQWhat=keyDown; thePress.evtQMessage='9'; thePress.evtQWhen=TickCount(); thePress.evtQModifiers=cmdKey+shiftKey; Enqueue(&thePress,GetEvQHdr()); I haven't tried PPostEvent, but it might also be able to do the trick. Why haven't you tried? Why do people insist on asking the net before trying to write maybe ten lines of code to test their ideas? ___________________________________________________________________________ / Juri Munkki / Helsinki University of Technology / Wind / HP S / / jmunkki@hut.fi / Computing Center Macintosh Support / Surf / 48 X / ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is pseudo-code that I use (email if you want actual running c code): Fill in the keypress in the event record PPostEvent the event record, a event queue element pointer is returned Munge the modifier's field. You're all done. This is documented in IM IV, OS Event chapter. Curiously enough, PPostEvent doesn't seem to be in the IM Cross-Reference or in the index to volume IV.
