[Gambas-user] Desktop.SendKeys

[tobias]

hi,

i have an open terminal running a program that may run for long time. i 
want to use Desktop.SendKeys to send a CTRL+C to the terminal. (that's 
just an example. i know there are some very smarter ways of achieving 
that ;))
if i use
Desktop.SendKeys("{[CONTROL_L]C}") nothing happens but if no program 
runs i can see that the blinking cursor stops for a moment so my 
terminal seems to receive the keystrike...?
what's happening here?
btw, i think, the person i'm asking for wants to send CTRL+K to a gui 
application, so it has nothing to do with sending signals as in my 
example... but it is not working, too, while sending normal keys 
(without CTRL) works well...

regards,
tobi
