I want to be able to write a code to enter the alphabets in my keyboard programmatically. I was able to do a lot of things using the keybd_event() and all of them worked but i dont see any option of how i can enters letters such C/A/X using the keybd_event. Is there a way to do that?
Please help me out. Thanks

You should use SendInput instead. As for how to do it - you need to send two events. First you send a key-pressed event, next, you send a key-released event.
