c# and external .exe integration

Member 9698589 asked:

Open original thread
I want to write a C# program which will launch an .exe (this is an easy job, I know how to do it.) but now I want to add some more functionality to it. I want to take user inputs to my program and want to pass them to running .exe as a input.Also I want to click on a particular button available on the exe window. Important thing is, I want to do it programatically without user knowledge that we are actually running that exe in background.
C#
word = textBox1.Text;
           Process myprocess = new Process();
           myprocess.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary - 3rd Edition.lnk";

           myprocess.Start();
           myprocess.WaitForInputIdle();
           Thread.Sleep(3000);
           SendKeys.Send(word);

what to do next?

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
