I've never tried this, so it's a guess on my part, but the SendMessage() API call can be used to send WM_CHAR, WM_KEYUP, and WM_KEYDOWN messages to a specific window. This window, however, must have keyboard focus.

As I said, I've never tried this, so I don't know the particulars. I can, however, supply additional information (declarations, etc.) if you need it.
