How can I send keyboard input messages to either the currently selected window or the previously selected window?
I have a program which I use to type some characters which are not present on my keyboard and I would like it if I could just send the input directly rather than me having to copy and paste all the time.
EDIT:
The application of this is typing the German Umlauts. I'm an American and I work in Germany. I'm working on an American keyboard and from time to time I have to type in the umlauts / the euro symbol / the sharp S. Currently I have a simple WinForms application with a textfield and some buttons with the extra characters on it. I type into the textfield and I can press the buttons to append text to the textfield. I then copy the text and paste it where ever. What would be nice though if I could just just hit one of the buttons and it would send the text where ever I'm typing / was typing. The current program works fairly well but I could make it better.

Look at System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send( string ). This allows key presses to be sent to the currently active application.
