It will give you clues on getting the window handle, etc and then sending the msg (sendkeys) to it.<br />

Hi,<br />
I'm creating a program in C# that will run in the background on my pc. The program is a custom server and I will send a message to it remotely telling it to fake press a certain key. I have already made all of the code to receive the messages remotely and am just stuck where I actually have the key to send. I tried using SendKeys but this only seems to work for the active window whereas I want to be able to send keys remotely to the foreground app whatever it is or even to no window - just as if the key had been pressed on the keyboard.<br />
Any ideas?

C# SendKeys to Foreground App

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
