Faking DirectInput -

I'm trying to find out.. if you have a program gathering its input through direct input, is there a way to simulate something through there?

Like a keypress or mouse move /click? I think this may be the reason a program I'm trying to create a macro prog for is ignoring a lot of my keybd_events, I think it uses DirectInput as its input source.

Thanks

SendKeys using DirectX's DirectInput -
Since DirectInput works at the lowest level and obtains input directly from the keyboard, is it possible to invoke a SendKeys type function? It seems as though it would be possible. If not, what can do a better job than SendKeys, the SendInput API, and the Keyb_Event API?
