Well, it does not quite work well, somehow, since only the number key 1 seems to work, any idea why?

The code needs to exclude the (), otherwise VS will complain that ..KeyChar(), cannot be used like a method.

<pre>
this.btn1.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.btn1_KeyPress);

private void btn1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if(e.KeyChar=='1')
{
//ur code
}
}

That's fine, however I would like to be able to do it programmatically, by passing parameters that represent applications held in memory, and, interface directly with the Windows API, for example using the Clipboard API (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649012%28v=VS.85%29.aspx).

Thanks
