procedure PostKeyEx32(key: Word; const shift: TShiftState; specialkey: Boolean);
{************************************************************
* Procedure PostKeyEx32
*
* Parameters:
* key : virtual keycode of the key to send. For printable
* keys this is simply the
ANSI code (Ord(character)).
* shift : state of the modifier keys. This is a set, so you
* can set several of these keys (shift, control, alt,
* mouse buttons) in tandem. The TShiftState type is
* declared in the Classes
Unit.
* specialkey: normally this should be False. Set it to True to
* specify a key on the numeric keypad, for example.
* Description:
* Uses keybd_event to manufacture a series of key events matching
* the passed parameters. The events go to the control with focus.
* Note that for characters key is always the upper-case version of
* the character. Sending without any modifier keys will result in
* a lower-case character, sending it with [ssShift] will result
* in an upper-case character!
// Code by P. Below
