sending special key sequences to the application

[ehzone]

How do I configure XP to send special key sequences to an application running
in a window? For example, when I press alt+F4, I'd like the application
running in the window to receive it rather than have Windwos process it.

thanks,

You can't unless the application has its own way to accept short cut
keys.

What application you are using?

If you're willing to learn a little bit of vbscript (with Windows Script
Host), then you could use the functions

AppActivate
SendKeys
Run

to achieve just that.

Details of those "methods" are in the Windows Script Host documentation
