C# Sendkeys Keydown HELP PLEASE!

i am sorta new to C# programming and i was wondering how to make it so when i press F1 it will use sendkeys/or type something in less than a second! (instant!)

thanks,

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:

Code:

---

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!
