Help needed on VB initiated keypress.

1
Greetings.
I have an application running that I need to send the keypress "F6" to. I have code to find the app, but I cannot seem to get any keypresses sent to it. This is what I have so far:
__________________________________________________ ____
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" _
(ByVal lpClassName As String, _
ByVal lpWindowName As Long) _
As Long
__________________________________________________ _____
Private Sub Command1_Click()
currentwindow = FindWindow("BA1FrameWindow", 0)

End Sub
__________________________________________________ ____
I need to insert some code into this that will fire the "F6" key.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You can use the SendKeys statement to send a keypress. But you can't "aim" - it will go to whatever application has the focus.

You can use SendKeys statement.

SendKeys "{F6}"
