PostMessage works fine.

        [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);
        [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        private static extern bool PostMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, int wParam, int lParam);


        private void Move_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            const int WM_KEYDOWN = 0x100;
            const int WM_KEYUP = 0x101;

            IntPtr hWnd = FindWindow(null, "Guild Wars 2");

            PostMessage(hWnd, WM_KEYDOWN, 0x26, 0x11480001);
            Thread.Sleep(100);
            PostMessage(hWnd, WM_KEYUP, 0x26, 0x11480001);
        }

This is just an example as this only does W, but it does work ( even downsized ).

I'm digging up an old thread here because this method is still working today.
Can someone please explain to me what the hex value 0x11480001 stand for? If I change this value to something else the function is no longer work.
On the other hand, if I change 0x26 (up arrow key) to something else the function still work as expected.
Thanks,
