If what you are trying to do is control a previously running executable, check out the Process class to enumerate through all the current processes or do it by name. Check the executable to match vlc.exe. You can then get a handle to the main window and do some P/Invoke to send messages as you are doing with your other executables. This is obviously riddled with potential problems such as if the there are changes to the keyboard shotcuts.
