Hi
Can someone point me the good direction to start a project that injects
keycodes, or (scancodes ) into the system as if the came from the keyboard.
(like barcodescanners etc.. do)

Hello Sagaert,
Use SendMessage WinAPI function http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/...ndMessage.html

I think that normally SendMessage isn't the best way. It's too
targetted and specific, e.g. knowing precisely which window to send
the message to.
SendInput is better. This is a low-level call to "spoof" mouse-clicks
and keyboard presses. I don't know if there's a managed wrapper; I'd
use p-invoke.
Here's an example win32/c++ program I wrote which intercepts the right
alt key, and spoofs a right-mouse-click in response. It shows how I
used SendInput. http://www.wischik.com/lu/Programmer/Keymouse

Michael,
This is actually not what you want to do, as it doesn't simulate input
from devices (keyboard, mice, etc, etc).
The OP really wants the SendInput API function that will produce
keyboard input.
Hope this helps.

As well as the other suggestions, SendKeys.Send() might be useful for
you. The online help does include a caution however: "If your
application is intended for international use with a variety of
keyboards, the use of Send() could yield unpredictable results and
should be avoided."

Thanks ,
I will have a look at it, seems in the direction of my needs.

Hi...
I want to write a program that will let me know after thirty minutes of
typing that I need to take a five minute typing break. But when I stop
typing it's smart enough to pause the 30 minute timer automatically.
This is under the X-Window System (Linux).
The tricky part is obviously knowing when the mouse and keyboard are
being used....especially when my application doesn't have the focus.

I'd like to simulate keypresses at the lowest level I can (writing to
the keyboard buffer if possible). I can find x86 solutions but nothing
for a higher level language. Does anyone know how I can do this in C#?
I'm also wondering if the "keybd_event" or "SendInput" goes as low as
writing to the Keyboard Controller Buffer? or do they use messaging? -
I think they both use messaging but just wanted to make sure.
