I've never done it over a network but I have done it in Delphi. The API function you need is: PostMessage(hwnd, idMessage, wParam, lParam) Post a message to a window. Parameters hwnd : int The hWnd of the window to receive the message. idMessage : int The ID of the message to post. wParam : int The wParam for the message lParam : int The lParam for the message > What would a python program to do this look like? Like I say I've never tried it from Python, but you need to find a way to getb the handle of the window to which you want to post the message. A tool like WinSpy will provide that info. The Keypress messages are all defined in the API reference material, there are subtle differences so check the docs. Finally the wparam/lparams will depend on the actual message you choose, aghain refer to the docs. BBut in theory its a case of importing the win32 modules and sending the message wiith a 15 second sleep() in between...
