[Help]Sending text to a program, without having it on the foreground via hotkey

[Withoutwings]

Hey guys, hope you can help me out, I'm busy making a Bindtool which let's you bind a key and sends the text in a textbox to a program. But I'm stuck at the part where it let's you send the text in the textbox to the program with a hotkey, so I hope someone here could help me out.. Please let me know quick (: and thanks in advance since you're spending your time for me :'D

No not like a spammer. I need it to let it send it to the process which is chosen, and then send it from where-ever the user is. (not having to select the chosen program and use the hotkey)

This is what you need:

pinvoke.net: SendMessage (user32)

This API is used to communicate between different objects / windows. GL.

With SendMessage I'm pretty sure you've got to access the handle of the textarea in your desired project, I know when I made a simple one for notepad, you get the main window handle, then find the handle of the "edit" area, then set the text. You'd need to figure out the new processes "edit" area (where the text is written) and then get its handle to send the message.

Ok, so in my program I can only make this work for one or other known programs which I know the "edit" area from?(In my program I let the user select the .exe he/she wants and I want to send the text from textbox1 to that program)

Well, you can loop through the controls of each process. But I am not really sure if you can get their type just by their Handle. So, till then you gotta hard code it.
