How to send a key to a minimized window

[Edgemeal]

hmm i dont know it doesnt work fine ...
i just want to make a project that refreshes the website after 9 seconds also if it is minimized
But now it doesnt send keys at all

Then you're probably using the wrong handle in that code. If it is a web browser control on a VB form you are trying to send the F5 key to then you need to use the web browser control handle, not the forms handle.

If you just need to refresh after 9 seconds then why not just add a timer that runs once, set timer to 9000 and start it when that certain URL is detected in the browser or something.

When you post/send a message to a control handle the control normally doesn't need to have focus, it only needs to accept/support the messages sent to it.

If you made both apps then a simple way around it is to just have your browser app save the web browser control handle when it starts up somewhere, like the registry, or a file, etc,. Now your other VB apps just need to retrieve that handle value from where the browser app saved it.
