Simulating Key Press in C# [duplicate]

Question

So I want to make my program automatically simulate a key press after a timer stops. I have the timer and every setup already I just need to somehow simulate a key press. After a download message pops up on a web browser in the application I just want the program to simulate as "ESC" key press to exit out of the download message popup. How would I simulate the key press?

Answer 1

I would use the SendKeys class, documented here.

To send an 'Esc' keypush, for example, you would write:

SendKeys.Send("{ESC}");

Answer 2

I would use the Windows Input Simulator as it is more reliable than Sendkeys.
