Is this a possible scenerio.....[Resolved]

[OUSoonerFan]

There is an app that I need to interact with. You can get to eveything in the app using keystokes. I know I can bring the app into focus from my app. Is it possible for me to then send out keystrokes, and since that app has the focus it would collect them and navigate accordingly.



Thanks...just wanted to make sure it was pheasible before spending the time to research and implement it.

Yes, it is possible. I wrote an App like that about 4 years ago, but it was in Borland C++ Builder. I needed to read data off a smart card and fill out a third party screen. So I set it up to write scripts. Like <Tab> <Tab> <First Name> <Tab> <Last Name> and so on and so forth. I haven't played with in .NET though, but I think there is a SendKeys method you should look into.
