I believe you'd better try using the ControlSend command rather than Post/Sendmessage.

It seems you are taking the terms "PostMessage" literally, as in "chat" message, while what PostMessage actually does is posting a "computer" message.

What you want to do is Send a simulated keystroke. Therefore, have a look at Send and ControlSend (which can send to an inactive window).
