I haven't read the previous messages, and aren't familiar with masterApp or BuddyAPI (I know what they are, but I mean I don't use them), but how are you "sending" the key code? Do you specify the destination window?
And are you sending the ASCII value, or sending they keycode? (they're different things).
It sounds like a focus problem - when your app is running it has focus, and that's why I'm wondering how you're targeting the other window to get the focus and the keypress.

Dear List,
I have a program that I am trying to control from a projector. This program responds to the pressing of the "return" key, by presenting a dialog box. I have used masterApp and BuddyAPI, in my attempts to activate this trigger from the projector, to no avail.
I can select the program, make its window active (even highlighted), but when I send a character code (13,28 or {ENTER} for BuddyAPI), nothing happens. Furthermore, when, in the moment the program is highlighted, I manually press "return," viola!, it works.
This is not a mainline program that has any great measure of sophistication. The programmers are a small group in the Netherlands. Barring a breakthrough in the next couple of days, I will have to call them.
Any idea what I should be looking for?

P.S. Thanks for all the other help that I have gotten on this problem, at earlier stages.
