MagTek SENDKEYS.OCX - Manual (Page 5)

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
Use the SendKeys.OCX to send keystrokes to a legacy windows application that does not
support COM Objects. The SendKeys.OCX can be used in conjunction with other controls to
send output as keystrokes; a perfect example is MagTek’s Keyboard Wedge Reader OCX. The
Keyboard Wedge Reader sends keystrokes as keyboard data. The Keyboard Wedge OCX
captures the keystrokes from the keyboard input. The SendKeys.OCX can be used to send
specific portions of the data captured by the Keyboard Wedge OCX. This allows us to control
the output of a Keyboard Wedge Reader and still send just the data required as keystrokes.
