[2005] (System.windows.forms.sendkeys.send) Issue

Hello,
I'm trying to create a program that alt tabs and then outputs some keystrokes.
I have tried using:

Code:

---

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("%{TAB}")

---

When i run it, it will Press alt and then Tab, but it won't release Alt, so it doesn't actually perform the Alt+Tab Correctly.

I have also tried opening a Notepad document and then running this code.

Code:

---

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("Hello")

---

This didn't output "Hello" into the notepad.

I have also tried using System.windows.forms.sendkeys.sendwait but that hasn't worked either.

Is there an easy way to pause the application? might be usable instead of sending alt+tab.

This code is located in the form load section.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

End Sub

Thanks.
Appreciate any help given.

Can anyone help me?
If more explanation is needed, let me know.

Thanks.

Hi, I believe the code is :

Code:

---

My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("^{C}")

---

or

Code:

---

sendkeys.send("^{C}")

---

just an example and then theres

Code:

---

SendKeys.sendwait("^{C}")

---

Im no expert though, just been programming for a few weeks ;)

the above code sends the "copy" command


EDIT: I misread the message, the above is probably meaningless, I thought you were asking how to use the send keys function!

Thanks for the help, i just decided not to implement the alt tab feature, will manually do it, no big issue.

Thanks again.
