Question

procedure SendText(ds:string);
var
  TI: TInput;
  KI: TKeybdInput;
  i: integer;
begin
  TI.Itype := INPUT_KEYBOARD;
  for i := 1 to Length(ds) do
  begin
    KI.wVk := Ord(UpCase(ds[i]));
    KI.dwFlags := 0;
    TI.ki := KI;
    SendInput(1, TI, SizeOf(TI));
    KI.dwFlags := KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;
    TI.ki := KI;
    SendInput(1, TI, SizeOf(TI));
  end;
end;

How can I add Unicode? Any suggestions how to copy Russian (Cyrilic) symbols using SendInput(Edit1.Text);

Answer 1

In this example I’ve used unit JclUnicode.pas from JEDI project. If you have Delphi 6 up then you can omit the JclUnicode in the uses clause.

uses
  JclUnicode;

procedure SendText(const Value: WideString);
var
  I: Integer;
  S: WideString;
  TI: TInput;
  KI: TKeybdInput;
const
  KEYEVENTF_UNICODE = $0004;
begin
  S := WideUpperCase(Value); 
  TI.Itype := INPUT_KEYBOARD;
  for I := 1 to Length(S) do
  begin
    KI.wVk := 0;
    KI.dwFlags := KEYEVENTF_UNICODE;
    KI.wScan := Ord(S[I]);
    TI.ki := KI;
    SendInput(1, TI, SizeOf(TI));
  end;
end;
