Send("{SPACE}") or ControlSend("Title", "", "", "{SPACE}") won't work?

Do you have a link to the interface for that DLL?

nope ordinary send keys and controlsend does work coz that program uses dinput8.dll that can be found on windows system..this dll hadles all the sending keys to that particular program..ahmm.. my only problem is how to call that dll and to get the memory of sendinf "Spacebar" so that I can send {SPACE} in given instance.

Find the usage of the dll, and we will most likely have an answer. I certainly won't be handing this to you on a plate.

this dinput8.dll is a DirectC DLL, which handles DirectInput. This gives functionality for multimedia input devices such as joysticks.It is also use DirectInput to sink press touch from keyboards.

dinput8 is part of directx and it receives the Keybord events, not sends them

You have to use keybd_event, which I think AutoIT uses, too (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646304(VS.85).aspx)

just like I said.. so how will I call these dll and send to it my KeyPress(Spacebar). The virtual key for space bar is 0x20 right?
