keybd_event in VISUAL BASIC 6.0

Using keybd_event, I am trying to write "Ctrl V" (paste from clipboard). This are the instructions that I am doing: keybd_event &H11, 0, 0, 0 > this activate CTRL Key keybd_event 86, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 > this press the V Key keybd_event &H11, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 > this is suppose to disable CTRL Key... The problem is , that after adding the ASCII code for "Ctrl" (&H11), the "Ctrl" funtion is ENABLE (toggle). How I can disable the "Ctrl" function for the rest of my program? I try a lot API functions without having good results, even when I unload the program the CTRL key is still enable... Any idea!!! Antonio S.:confused: My OS system is Windows XP

int 21h: Thank you for your answer!!! The problem is, that I can copy to the "Clipboard", also I can paste the text that is in the Clipboard to another text file using the information that you post, but what I have to do is to paste the information that is inside the Clipboard to the input window of other program (for example, Ifoedit...). The only way that I know to do that is using "Key" commands. In VB I use "keybd_event". With it I can write, using Ascii codes, directly to the input file of other programs. The problem is that when I want to paste from the Clipboard to the input of other program I have to simulate what the operator may do. In this case I have to simulate "CTRL V". This will paste, what is in the clipboard directly to the window of the other program that is open ( and the cursor is blinking).I tried it and it works. The big trouble is that after using the "keybd_event" command for the "Ctrl" key, this key appears to be activated all the time(toggle). I need an intruction or command to desactivated it again. How can I do that??? (This is really making me CRAZY!!!) Thank you for your help... Antonio S.

Wouldn't this do what you need by printing to the active control on that window as in the first link int 21h posted.. PHP Code:

Help!!! I still cannot solve this problem... I just need to desactivate the CTRL and/or ALT key after is active with keybd_event... Antonio S.
