windows - How to simulate a key press in C++

Question

I was wondering how can I simulate a key depression in C++. Such as having code that when I run the program it presses the letter "W" key. I don't want to be displaying it in a console window I just want it to display the "W" key every time I click on a text field. Thanks!

Note: I am not trying to make a spammer.

It looks like you want to use either SendInput() or keybd_event() (which is an older way of doing the same thing).
