Question

I am implementing a desktop application in which I want to send an ALT+SPACE key combination but I can’t find any way to do this.

I am implementing this for automatic processing the below tasks:

1. enter tracert command in command prompt
2. copy the result
3. paster the result in the notepad

Can anyone help me with this..?

Answer 1

Try this

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("% ");

Edit
Using SendKeys is a little ‘hacky’. Instead I’d suggest using the Process class, something like below

public string GetTracert(string ip)
{
    Process p = new Process();
    p.StartInfo.FileName = "tracert";
    p.StartInfo.Arguments = "123.123.123.123";
    p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    p.Start();

    return p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
}
