best way to send Ctrl+C to the os?

[Crash893]

I'm working on a program that i need to copy and paste while not in focus

I have the code to register global hotkeys (ctrl+1 ctrl+2 etc) but i want to trigger a copy or paste when the hotkey is triggered

I'm not sure what the best way is to send a keystroke to the os is

any ideas or hits?

Thanks so much

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to send or receive from the Clipboard?

String TextFromClipboard =  Clipboard.GetText();
            Clipboard.SetText("Clipboard Text");

To send a keystroke use, 'SendKeys'

Send the keystroke ctrl+c

SendKeys("^C");
