Sendkeys from contextmenustrip

Question

I would like to send a string to an application from a contextmenustrip. For example, I open Notepad, I open my application, I click the notifyicon from the taskbar, and select an item, I want it to send text (sendkeys.send) to the application that is currently open.

What would be the best way of doing this?

Thanks.

Edit: Simply sending %{TAB} works in all windows versions except Windows 8, and it has to be compaitible.

Answer 1

W8 simply doesn't allow keystrokes to other applications if it is not certified by Microsoft or by Self-Signing.
