Send keystrokes with VBScript

[Marcus Tettmar]

An alternative way to send keystrokes can be achieved by using the Windows Scripting Shell object in VBScript:

VBSTART
Sub Send
Dim Wsh
Set Wsh = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Wsh.AppActivate "Notepad"
Wsh.SendKeys "Hello World{ENTER}"
End Sub
VBEND

Run>Notepad
WaitWindowOpen>Notepad*
VBRun>Send

This could be useful where you need to send keystrokes from within a complicated VBScript routine and/or would prefer to keep control within VBScript.
