This is not a good learning project. Sending text to other windows is a hack which you should never do. As for your question, security got tighter with Vista. I bet there's UAC issues that stop this code working in Windows 7. Even if you can find a config setting to make it work, it still means it won't work for most users.

hmm.. why sending text to other windows mean hack?
are you have suggestion to solve this problem mybe using UAC bypasser..

My suggestion is that by doing something so ugly that no professional project worth anything would do it, you're not learning anything about programming. Write a calculator, or a database, or a container class, to learn how to code. My point is, if you can bypass UAC on your machine, you can't make everyone else bypass it, too. So, your app won't be useful to anyone.
