Access the "global" focused control from C# app-.

[Anders]

Hi

Im trying to develop a C# application which interacts with a Fingerprint
scanner.

The appliaction is going to run in the background (and as trayicon).

When my applicatons catches an event from the finger scanner i want to paste
a text into "what ever active textbox control is focused" and the execute a
"press enter command". Eg. a focused textbox control in Internet Explorer.

1. Is this possible in pure managed C#? (If so what direction?)
2. If not. Can I do it unmanged through interop? (If so what direction?)

I really look forward to hear from you

Thanks in regards

You could try using the SendKeys class.
