Use the keyb_event function:

[code lang=”delphi”]// press:
keyb_event(VK_MENU,0,0,0);
keyb_event(Ord(‘R’),0,0,0);
// release:
keyb_event(Ord(‘R’),0,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0);
keyb_event(VK_MENU,0,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0);
[/code]

[code lang=”delphi”] {Key Down}
keybd_Event(VK_RETURN, 0, 0, 0) ;
Sleep(100);
{Key Up}
keybd_Event(VK_RETURN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
[/code]
