1. [Win32Lib] simulating a keypress?

How can I simulate a keypress in my program?
I suspect "SendMessage" is the way to go, but I don't know how to use it.
I want to make an edit box that comes to expect an <enter> keypress think <enter> has been pressed.

I mis-spoke slightly, it's not an editBox that's expecting a <return>, but rather the edit aspect of a TreeView control.
Doesn't make any difference, I think?

w32VOID = invokeHandler(the_control, w32HKeyDown,{VK_ENTER,0})
Sending the raw message will lead you there anyway.

Thanks Chris,
Maybe because of what I'm already doing in the w32KeyDown handler, that didn't work, but simply setFocus(anotherWindow) DID work.
I chanced on that when I happened to click on another window while the TV was waiting for <return>, and when I came back to the TV, it had responded as if I'd hit <return>.
