Sometime ago I asked myself how I could emulate the VB Send-Key function using REBOL
since I will need it soon.
I planned to use the Windows API but this requires the /View PRO that I can't afford
yet - other short term priorities appeared here
recently !!! Probably I'll get it in december instead of mid-september as originally
planned :-)
So my question is : Do you also use the Windows API under the hood of your Win-send-keys
DIALECT ?
When I will have done my own it is possible that I recontact you about your Dialect since
this looks an easier way to do things than
I originally planned to do them myself - do you agree ?
Thanks in advance,
Gerard
