I need to send the key "2" into the notepad using PostMessage API function... But it's not working... Pls help, thx in advance.

$handle = WinGetHandle("Unnamed - Notepad")
_API_PostMessage($handle, 0x0100, 0x32, 0)
_API_PostMessage($handle, 0x0101, 0x32, 0)

Func _API_PostMessage($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
  Local $aResult
  $aResult = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "PostMessageA", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", $iMsg, "int", $iwParam, "int", $ilParam)

Can't comment on the code because I don't know what messages 100 and 101 are. But why not use Send or ControlSend?

I don't much about PostMessage but I found this sample... Hope it helps you.

$hWnd = ControlGetHandle("Untitled - Notepad", "", "Edit1")
$user32 = DllOpen("user32.dll")
$ret = DllCall($user32, "int", "MapVirtualKey", "int", 0x0D, "int", 0)
$lParam = BitOR($ret[0] * 0x10000, BitAND(1, 0xFFFF))
If IsArray($ret) Then
    DllCall($user32, "int", "PostMessage", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", 0x100, "int", 0x0D, "long", $lParam)
    Sleep(1)
    DllCall($user32, "int", "PostMessage", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", 0x101, "int", 0x0D, "long", BitOR($lParam, 0xC0000000))
EndIf
DllClose($user32)
