Function KeySend() Foundation

Writes keycodes into the event queue.

Syntax
KeySend( <cKeyValues> , ;
         [<lAdditive>]  ;  // Default: .F.
       ) --> lPassed
Return

Returns .T. if the keycode could be written to the event queue otherwise .F.

Description

This function exists for compatibility reasons only. A key code is build from its ASCII code and the keyboard scan code. This can lead to problems especially when programming in GUI mode and/or using different keyboards. It is strongly recommended not to use KeySend() but PostAppEvent().

When <lAdditive> is set .F. (default) the event queue will be emptied prior to writing <cKeyValues>.
