Simulating a keypress AND keyrelease in another application?

Question

I need to interact with an external application running, and send specific keypresses & releases. I\'ve tried to use the SendKeys class, but it does only half of the job

Answer 1

You can use the WSH Scripting Shell to do this:

var shell   = new WshShellClass();
var missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

shell.SendKeys("MOO!!!", ref missing);

All you need to do is add a COM reference to "Windows Scripting Host Object", version 1.0. Everything is in the namespace IWshRuntimeLibrary.
