you can use things like System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys

Win32 Library's SendInput and SetForeGroundWindow type calls using "Using Win32 and Other Libraries" from the .Net documentation.

Oo hey, good call. It does sound like that is what Nitesh wanted to do. So, tell us, Nitesh, what are you trying to do? Here is more on SendKeys from Microsoft, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...48(vs.80).aspx
