I'm not sure this is a question for C# but if it is try using the key value
You can find them on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.keys%28v=vs.71%29.aspx[^]

For TAB is 9.

Did you read the reference?
SendKeys.Send[^]

Probably you used the wrong syntax. Instead of

C#

SendKeys.Send( "TAB" );
// or
SendKeys.Send( "9" );

try

C#

SendKeys.Send( "{TAB}" );

Unfortunately, not

Hm, then I'm sorry.

Just an idea. You said you gonna send these keys to a game. Most games I know show a scoreboard while pressing the TAB key. Maybe sending the key once isn't enough.

Another question would be, if you're wrapping your code into a try-catch block and suppressing the exception? I mean something like that:

try { SendKeys.Send( "YourKey" ); } catch {}

only sendkeys.send("{TAB}") or sendkeys.send{&H9}

I found something
i send tab key in c++ project
but vb.net or c# can't do it

can you build class library in c++ (sendkey.dll)
i need reference it my c# project ???

SvenMe 9-Jan-12 11:32am

If you want to use your C++ project, you have to do it via PInvoke [ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa288468(v=vs.71).aspx ].

For .Net you might try this one. [ http://inputsimulator.codeplex.com ]

i don't understand .net not worked in game
do you have com dll ? imputsimulator(c/c++)

SvenMe 9-Jan-12 11:53am

Did you even read what I wrote?

You said you tried a C++ project and it worked. So, why don't you use this library or whatever in your project? I gave you a link to a pinvoke tutorial.

The InputSimulator is wrapping the SendInput method of the Windows API. It is the same method you probably use in your C++ library (and the same System.Windows.Forms.SendKey uses).

I still think you're doing something wrong in your code but without more information it is hard to help...
