[C#] Case-sensitive SendKey?

[linked]

I'm working on an application right now that uses SendKey to send keystrokes to an external application.

The upside is that it's very easy-- SendKey.SendWait("Hello World!"); is all it takes.

The downside is that it's case-insensitive. The above line will send "hello world1", as shift isn't held at any point in there.

Is there a quick and easy fix for this? I looked at SendMessage, but couldn't figure out if that would do what I need, and I don't know how to declare a HWIN to specify which window I want it send to.

That seems really stupid of the API..

Did you try sending it a single character? ie: chr(34)

I don't know what numbers are what.. but u can look them upo here:

I haven't tried sending it a single character; I don't really see how that would help, but what exactly are you suggesting, I might be missing it?

MSDN's info has everything I've been using (I used it to find the function in the first place), but it doesn't provide anything on how to get it to distinguish between upper and lowercase characters.

MSDN expects you to type SendWait("+Hello +World+1") to get Hello World!, whereas I want it to take a string that a coming from elsewhere and push it out, so formatting it with the '+'s isn't going to work for me. Is there a way to disect a string char by char and look for capitals/punctuation?

yea

vb.net

Dim s As String = "teXT"
For Each c As Char in S.ToCharArray
    If Char.IsUpper(c) Then
'.....
    ENd If
Next

i'm not too sure if this is what you're looking for, but it's what it sounds like

Hmm, I'll make sure I toy around with that, thanks!
