Now how do i do this then?

I need to find out all applications running, so that text can be sent to a chosen application. I am guessing that it will have to be an API call, but being fairly new to VB, i just aint sure..........

And will the SENDKEYS thing work if the application is already open...... if not what can i use to transfer not only text but other keys likt TAB, ENTER, BKSP etc

Any help, ideas, whatever, would be greatfully recieved!!
