Hi All,

I am trying to open another application and it has a hot key (CTRL+ALT+C)to open regardless of which window is currently active. I want to activate that application which then puts the cursor in the first entry box and then send it keystrokes. I am able to manually use the hot key and send info to the application I just want automate the entire process with keybd_event api/sendkeys starting with sending CTRL+ALT+C.

Thanks in advance for any response.
