Raising keyboard events

[DC]

Hi All,

Is there any code snippet that shows how to raise keyboard events,
for example,
simulating the KEYDOWN event on key F5.

Thanks,
DC

Hi,

Take a look at the sendkeys class

Thanks Ken.
The way I had been doing it is as follows:

Dim keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys
keyData = Keys.F5

Dim keyEvent As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs
keyEvent = New System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs(keyData)

RaiseEvent PressKeyDown(Me, keyEvent)

What do you think of this? This works ( I have a form.keydown event
handler), but I would appreciate your comments.
