Using PostMessage API

Struggled with this for such long. Basically i was trying to use the PostMessage API to send some text to an inactive window without the focus i was trying to test this out with Notepad but the thing would not work when ultimately i noticed that the edit part of notepad is a different window thanks to spy++ below is the code

Dim hWindow As Long, hNotepad As Long

hNotepad = FindWindow("notepad", vbNullString)
hWindow = FindWindowEx(hNotepad, 0&, "edit", vbNullString)
Call SendText(hWindow, "Hello")

Public Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Public Const WM_KEYDOWN = &H100
Public Const WM_KEYUP = &H101
Public Const WM_CHAR = &H102


Public Sub SendText(hWnd As Long, Text As String)
Dim I As Integer

If hWnd = 0 Then Exit Sub

Dim zwParam As Long
Dim zlParam As Long
Dim xwParam As Long ' used For WM_CHAR

For I = 1 To Len(Text)
' First, get the lParam for WM_KEYDOWN
zwParam = GetVKCode(Mid$(Text, I, 1))
xwParam = zwParam And &H20 ' wants Hex20 added To it so A7 goes to C7 and 15 -> 35 (hex values)
zlParam = GetScanCode(Mid$(Text, I, 1))
PostMessage hWnd, WM_KEYDOWN, zwParam, zlParam

DoEvents
Next
End Sub


Private Function GetVKCode(ByVal Char As String) As Long
On Error Resume Next
Char = UCase(Left$(Char, 1))
GetVKCode = Asc(Char)
End Function


Private Function GetScanCode(bChar As String) As Long
' To get scancodes:
' Start SPY++ on Notepad
'Type in all chars and then stop SPY++ logging. It will tell you all scancodes

' Note: Scancode 1E = &H1E0001,30 = &H30
' 0001

Select Case LCase$(Left$(bChar, 1))
Case "a"
GetScanCode = &H1E0001
