Hello,

Is anyone know what other way to send keys. I'm having trouble using SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}{TAB}") on a Citrix (its like a DOS base keying/entry, connecting to a server). Somehow the special keys like enter and tab its not working, but [A-Z][0-9] its fine.

Please Help.

Thanks.

BTW, found this article but reference are missing, hard to find in internet

SendKeys is a pretty bad thing, by a number of reasons. The really universal ways to simulate input events in Windows is SendInput:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646310%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^].

You can use it via P/Invoke, which is already done for you: http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32.sendinput[^].

And a word of warning for you: try to stay away from technology abuse. The cases when you need to simulate input are quite rare; playing keyboard (keyboard/mouse) macro is one of them; another application could be UI testing tools. Simulation of input should not be used in UI development, for example.
