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..[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post Suke Posted at 12:38 am on Oct. 27, 2004 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..
