digitalmars.D.learn - More WinAPI problems

Hello everyone,

I encountered a few more problems while creating my system-wide 
makro program.

1)
I can't load my dll with LoadLibraryW, only LoadLibraryA. Why?

2)
The LoadLibraryA function "fails" with Error Code 127 - I still 
get a Handle and can register my function as a 
LowLevelKeyboardProc, so I'm not really sure what went wrong. 
Google tells me Code 127 means my .dll is dependant on other 
.dlls which can't be found, but I have no idea which/why/how.

3)
I intend to use the SendInput function to simulate Unicode 
character presses - to be precise, I want to inject this --> 
ಠ_ಠ <-- whenever I press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+Q  (for example). 
Sadly SendInput gives me Error Code 87 ("Incorrect Parameter"), 
but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I hope you guys can help me out!

This is the .dll code:

How are you passing the DLL filename to LoadLibraryA/W?  Are you passing a  
string literal, i.e.

LoadLibraryW("C:\\folder\dllname.dll");

Have you tried the string literal suffix 'w', e.g.

LoadLibraryW("C:\\folder\dllname.dll"w);

Do you know DependencyWalker? It might help you to check dependencies.

INPUT doesn't match C declaration and probably has wrong size. 
Also to properly handle errors first check return code and then 
last error.
