Thanks :) I try reading the in-built help book but i cannot understand a thing because all it does it tell you about different procedures/functions.

Also, is there any functions/procedures similar to KeyDown and KeyUp?

i use sendkeys to type chars but it says string and card is somthing diff… and i want to do

sendkeys(Username.Text,True)//username is an edit and true is for wait

but it doesn't wants to do that it says unknownidentifier username.. but its an edit box

Tried it, it doesn't work. I looked up the help file and it was there but it kept giving me an unknown identifier.

That's because you have to add the procedure name under the type area.

no, i looked at what he had and it looked ok to me, the only problem was that sendKeys uses a PanSiChar or something like that -.-

SenMessage sends messages to other windows/processes, probably the most inefficient way to try to type something :)

I suggest you learn how to use google, it comes in handy quite often:

Go to my old site archive here: http://freddy1990.com/oldsite/, then click "Delphi Sources", then click "SendKeys", I have a unit uploaded, written by "Zarko Gajic", which does the job perfectly :)

Just copy the procedures into your code.
