Found another unit which has exactly the same functionality as the SendKeys method of VB. The Code was written by Ken Henderson, email:khen@compuserve.com.

(*
SendKeys routine for 32-bit Delphi.
Written by Ken Henderson
Copyright (c) 1995 Ken Henderson email:khen@compuserve.com
This unit includes two routines that simulate popular Visual Basic
routines: Sendkeys and AppActivate. SendKeys takes a PChar
as its first parameter and a boolean as its second, like so:
SendKeys('KeyString', Wait);
where KeyString is a string of key names and modifiers that you want
to send to the current input focus and Wait is a boolean variable or value
that indicates whether SendKeys should wait for each key message to be
processed before proceeding. See the table below for more information.
AppActivate also takes a PChar as its only parameter, like so:
AppActivate('WindowName');
where WindowName is the name of the window that you want to make the
current input focus.
SendKeys supports the Visual Basic SendKeys syntax, as documented below.
Supported modifiers:
+ = Shift
^ = Control
% = Alt
Surround sequences of characters or key names with parentheses in order to
modify them as a group. For example, '+abc' shifts only 'a', while '+(abc)' shifts
all three characters.
Supported special characters
~ = Enter
( = Begin modifier group (see above)
) = End modifier group (see above)
{ = Begin key name text (see below)
} = End key name text (see below)
Supported characters:
Any character that can be typed is supported. Surround the modifier keys
listed above with braces in order to send as normal text.
Supported key names (surround these with braces):
BKSP, BS, BACKSPACE
BREAK
CAPSLOCK
CLEAR
DEL
DELETE
DOWN
END
ENTER
ESC
ESCAPE
F1
F2
F3
F4
F5
F6
F7
F8
F9
F10

HELP

Follow the keyname with a space and a number to send the specified key a
given number of times (e.g., {left 6}).

This is used to set the current input focus to a given window using its
name. This is especially useful for ensuring a window is active before
sending it input messages using the SendKeys function. You can specify
a window's name in its entirety, or only portion of it, beginning from
the left.
