From my application I want to do two 'very basic' actions:

1. send a bunch of input (movemouse on window 'W', click, movemouse back) using SendInput()
2. disable window 'W' either by setting its layered alpha property to zero or using EnableWindow(W, FALSE).

No matter what the delay between 1 and 2 is, it doesn't work. If I don't ever disable the window, if I don't do step 2, then it works great all the time. I tried putting a Sleep(10000) and it still didn't work. Window gets disabled but it doesn't receive the input.

What could I be missing here?
