Was curious is it possible to send keys to another program like VB sendkeys() ? For example just a string and a return char is all I would want.. Just a simple way to hit a hotkey and it sends in data to this program without the program knowing.

I'm trying to automate something and it would be a nice fun project to work on if I could do this... and I really didn't want to write it in VB =/.. I also know C but I think if this is possible it would be easiest in Java?

It's a gui that I want to send this input to... and of course it's not my program so I can't set them up with any kind of pipe..

Perhaps you can use a RPC that just runs over the 'fake' network. That's just a though.

And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong.
