FT_PUTKEY() Stuff a keystroke into the keyboard buffer Syntax FT_PUTKEY( <nKeyValue> ) -> lResult Arguments <nKeyValue> is the INKEY() value of the keystroke to be stuffed. Returns .T. if the keystroke was put into the keyboard buffer. .F. if nKeyValue was invalid or the buffer was full. Description This function is similar to the KEYBOARD command, with a few exceptions. First, this function does not clear the keyboard buffer before inserting the keystroke. In addition, since it uses the Inkey() value, you can stuff any key, including function keys, into the keyboard buffer. However, this also means that unlike the KEYBOARD command, you can only stuff one keystroke at a time. You can easily create a User-Defined Command that makes this function even more like the KEYBOARD command. For example, #command KEYSTROKE <key> => FT_PUTKEY( <key> ) will create a command called KEYSTROKE that could be used as a companion command to KEYBOARD. The only difference is that it would insert a single keystroke instead of a string. Be aware that this function makes use of Clipper's internal event handler. If you don't like using internals, then don't use this function, you sniveling coward. This function is written to adhere to Turbo Assembler's IDEAL mode. To use another assembler, rearrange the SEGMENT and PROC directives and make any other necessary changes to the source code.
