Hi, Thanks for your responses, win32 windows will indeed process the messages sent to them no matter whether they are foreground or background, but i am facing an issue particularly here. I think the only way to achieve this could be to set the required window to foreground and then sendkeys. Let me check other options.

As the alternative, you could try to send the keyboard messages directly to the appropriate window instead of using `SendKeys`. This will not always work in a convenient way, as the keycodes and keyboard states do not necessarily translate into Windows messages.	[reply] [d/l]
