What's the equivalent of the Win32 API
keybd_event(orSendInput) for .NET? Thanks, Alvaro

I had a similar question that I posted a couple of days ago, with mixed results. See thread: http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?msg=466571&forumid=1649#xx466571xx I tried calling keybd_event from C# through an extern declaration, like this:
[DllImport("User32.dll")] private unsafe static extern void keybd_event(byte bVk, byte bScan, uint dwflags, ulong* dwExtraInfo);For me, this works the first time but is flaky after that. I'm not sure why, but it's possible that the last two parameter types are off -- I wasn't exactly sure what to use there. -

I'm still hopeful that it's in there somewhere, but we just haven't located it. Anyway, I did a search using Google and got to this link: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=keybd_event&btnG=Google+Search&meta=group%3Dmicrosoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp[^] The second link there shows one way to declare keybd_event inside the program: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=keybd_event+group:microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=1DQ6HJ7VCHA.1780%40cpmsftngxa10&rnum=2[^] I'll give that a shot, and I'll also dig a little more slowly into the .NET library to see if I can spot it. You'd have thought the Application class would have been the place, but nope. Thanks for your help, Alvaro

I don't know, but there is no rule that you can't use API's in .NET! :)

SendKeysclass in the System.Windows.Forms namespace. Not the most intuitive name, but hey, it's a lot better than that awful keybd_event. Regards, Alvaro

I had a quick look at the SendKeys class but can you use that to send it remotely, I think that was what you wanted to do. I am also looking for remote components to can control terminals across a tellephone line, I found some cool stuff, but not key strokes or mouse events... Let me know if you need any other stuff...
