Hi,

I'll apologise in advance, I'm a java developer by trade and have been asked to do something in C#, I also now little about the windows API.

What I need to do is have an application that send preprogrammed key strokes to an application when a user invoke it. I'm anticapting a fairly straight forward form where the user selects something from a list and clicks a button, the keystrokes associated are sent to the window that was last active. I would also like to be able record keystrokes typed by the user to an application. I'm aware that macro software like this exists but this is just a small part of an application.

I have searched a bit but I just can't find anything applicable on msdn or elsewhere, it doesn't help when I don't know what I'm looking for. Can anyone point me to some relevant documentation or suggest something to look into?

Cheers, Vic

The most common resolution I've seen for this is using SendKeys. I personally don't like this solution because it requires the application you are sending keystrokes to to have focus - but then the same case is true if you are using the win32 api to send strokes.

As far as monitoring keystrokes you will need to actually tap into the win32 api

use the GetAsyncKeyState method - but be warned - windows vista and many anti-viral programs will throw a fit because they will think you are a keyboard logger.
