Is there a way to send keyboard keys to other windows?

[Jonathan Lynch]

Replying to my own question:

I found this on the autoIT website:


"Also supplied is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called AutoItX
that allows you to add the unique features of AutoIt to your own favourite
scripting or programming languages!"
So... this could be added as an external for Rev? And, if we did so, we
could access system functionalities that go beyond what Rev is designed for?

I can see uses for this.
