I need in VB 6.0 only a way to paste the following characters into AIM where you type a message. (See the attachment for the characters since it is html formatted.) I have worked on this ALL DAY and cannot do it. It MUST be pasted in because when it is, the text changes to a smile face icon by AIM. I can send the text by using SendMessage but it does not change to the icon. I tried the SendKeys and WM_PASTE with sendmessage and nothing gets pasted. Either I am doing it wrong or AIM has blocked it. But I can do a Control-V on my keyboard and see it get pasted and change to an icon. The VB app has a button that will paste is to AIM. BEFORE YOU BID - Try doing it yourself. If you see you made it work, send me a demo. You can just have a textbox where I enter the handle of the textbox in AIM and another textbox with the characters to paste. I want to type in a different one to see it working also. If you know how to do this, making a demo would only take 10 minutes. I request a demo on small stuff like that that I cannot make work. I am using AIM 5.1.3036 so that should help. And it must work on Windows 95 through XP. Update to post: I forgot to attach the zip file. It is there now. It just has a small .txt file showing the characters it needs to paste.
