here is the solution create button on form (add the send keys function in it) and invoke that button through coding when needed

button1.PerformClick();

Or you could add a KeyPressed/Down/Up event to the object that should capture the F1, and use the event arguments to check what was pressed.

For example:

private void yourObject_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
	if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F1)
	{
		// do stuff
	}
}

The more appropriated event would be KeyPressed I guess, but the eventArgs don't have a KeyCode, only KeyChar, and you can't use Keys.F1 to compare. Perhaps a simple cast would do the trick, haven't tested. Anyway, you get the general idea... =)

Hope it helps!
