SendKeys on Remote Desktop

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

Hey,

We are trying to determine why a Remote Desktop is not
accepting keystrokes generated by SendKeys (also look at
the screenshot). We are aware that using SendKeys is not
the best option for sending keystrokes but in this
situation the keystrokes are generated by a barcode
scanner, and our applications are designed to handle
keystrokes (usually run at the local machine).


If there is no solution we will have to include extra
programming, but we are trying to avoid that.

' start Code
Me.Timer1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Timer(Me.components)
me.Timer1.Enabled = True
Me.Timer1.Interval = 5000

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
SendKeys.SendWait("HELLO WORLD" + vbCr)
End Sub
' end Code
