Normally you can send keys with the
SendMessageAPI function, but I’m not sure if it would be affected in any way by the window being minimized, I don’t think so but I haven’t tried.To use a Windows API function from VB.Net you need to use PInvoke to call it, you can find information about how to do that on this page.
The MSDN page for SendMessage might also be useful for information about how it works.
Btw, you probably want to use the
WM_CHARmessage which is0x0102.
