I am new to C, hope someone could help me here.

I need to implement a keystroke, for example, i need to programatically implement the 'return key'.

As in if someone is pressing the 'return key' from the keyboard. but here, the user will not even touch the keyboard. the return key will be automatically executed by the code. How do i write the code for this. i have spent days googling this but i failed finding a solution. can someone please tell me how this could be implemented.

What operating system?

What did you mean by that, i am new to C, and MS visual studio. :(


Answering to your question i found out that user32.lib, is in the project under additional dependencies.
