Simulate a press of the cntrl key

[tofurocks]

What would be the easiest way to simulate pressing the control key in C++?
(make it press the button for you instead of having to manually press it on the keyboard)

C++ or WinAPI?

C++, it would depend on the platform.

WinAPI, just send the WM_KEYDOWN message and fake out the app.
