Re: [aus-dotnet] simulating a keypress

[Roger Curtain]

Jarrod, I have used several methods in the past.       1. Set the focus to the application in question and use SendKeys.     2. If the application has a menu shortcut for the action use that by simulating a menu click.     3. If a button on the application also issues the command then press that using code.   ALL THE ABOVE REQUIRE WIN32 api WORK           The trouble is the keyboard is global and the keystrokes go to the app which has the focus, unless you have installed a global keyboard hook and intercepted the keystrokes. Not useful in this case.   Regards Roger

Hi,   I need to simulate a keypress event from a .net application to another windows based application (it happens to be a phone emulator).  Is there a way of directing a sendKeys.send() event to a specified window that simulates a keypress from within that applciation?   Thanks,

Jarrod
