Trigger a keyboard key press event without pressing the key from keyboard
c#, keyboard-events, wpf
Solution
`System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send()` has done the trick for me.
For advanced instructions and the list of available codes, consult the docs for the method.
For example, to send Shift+A I used `SendKeys.Send("+(a)")`.
Problem
How can I trigger a key press event without pressing the key from Keyboard? I tried with the solution from here, but I got the following exception: The best overloaded method match for 'System.Windows.PresentationSource.FromVisual(System.Windows.Media.Visual)' has some invalid arguments. Consider Shift+A contains 2 key press event from keyboard,how can I do it without keyboard pressing?(let, just print capital A in a textbox on a button click) My code ``` var key = Key.A; // Key to send var target = Keyboard.FocusedElement; // Target element var routedEvent = Keyboard.KeyDownEvent; // Event to send target.RaiseEvent(new System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs(Keyboard.PrimaryDevice, System.Windows.PresentationSource.FromVisual(target), 0, key) { RoutedEvent = routedEvent }); ```
