Solution 1

Create a thread that repeatedly calls SendKey for 0.6 seconds.

EDIT =============

Can't test it now? ~~WTF~~ does that mean?

You could also post a WM_KEYDOWN command, wait .6 seconds, and the post a WM_KEYUP command. You're going to have to use pInvoke to do that. Google is your friend for both things (using pInvoke, and posting windows commands).
