I need a method to invoke the ENTER key in the keyboard.
I tried this; yet its for return and not ENTER

keybd_event(VK_RETURN,0x9c,0 , 0);

All i want to do is, to press the keyboard key from the code. How do i do this?

Are you sending both a key down and key up event?

keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0x9c, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_RETURN, 0x9c, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);

Return and Enter are the same key, by the way, just with varying names printed on the keyboard.
