simulating keyboard

How is it possible to simulate the keyboard entries (and the mouse events) of
one program, from another program. The first program is not written for this
purpose and is a not aware of the simulation.

Jimif,

In my opinion can you use remoting.

I believe you will need to look to the win32 api to hook into events.
Check out this article:

Did you try the SendKeys class? If not, P/Invoking SendInput (Windows API)
should do the job. Maybe you can find a managed wrapper on the net.
