Thank you DojoMike, and my apologies for not responding. Post notifications are useful indeed.
I was under the impression that AHK would send events without taking over control of the desktop mouse and keyboard. Is this wrong?
This post will be updated once I am able to test, but more information on the AHK codebase would help. It seems plausible there is a distinction between the two types, but I am reading that SendInput will generate all input message types. If keybd_event and mouse_event do not do the same thing, I am very confused - the MSDN documentation implies they operate at the same level or a level below SendInput.
My goal is to provide input to a program without taking control of the desktop input devices. The ultimate usecase is similar to AutoHotkey, but the code is to be integrated with an
existing project.
