I don't now, what You exactly would reached, but the sample (with a form) look as (with a form, label and timer - for time events it must be):
----------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Interval = 1000 ' it is 1 sek, for 50 ms must be 50
Label1 = "" ' only for sample result
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Command1_KeyPress (Asc("Z")) ' invoke a KeyPress event for the form
End Sub
------------------------------------------------
The label1 is only for sample
Second tail of Your mail I understand not exactly, but I thing, You can use key events (KeyPressed, KeyDown, KeyUp and so on)
Best Regards
