c# how to send a ctrl-C signal programatically to a process?

Hi,

I have searched through msdn documentation, but couldnt figure this
out. I have written a console application that starts a process using
the Process class in system.diagnost ics namespace. I want to send a
ctrl-C signal to this process from my application. Can anyone help me
on this?

Thanks,
Carmen

I don't think you'll find a menaged method for that. But you can use
the native API GenerateConsole CtrlEvent.

Do you think that's the problem? Any ideas how to get this right-click left-click Input box...
