I'm trying to figure out how to "stuff keystrokes" into Windows.
I've been able to successfully do this for edit controls, using
the obvious "send WM_CHAR" or "send WM_KEYDOWN, WM_KEYUP" sequences.
However, I'm stuck on how to activate a button by pressing a key.
I know this is possible, since the Recorder can do it with no
problem, but no matter where I send messages, nothing happens.
I've tried SPYing but that hasn't revealed any useful info.

Solutions or pointers would be appreciated.  Thanks...
