I'll try to explain better.
I must make two apps communicate, but one is a third part app and I can't modify it or access direct the database and there isn't any webservice or nothing like it to communicate direct.
So when the users must input some information they do ctrl+c and ctrl+v from one app to the other. But this involves change windows, select the information in the right fild, ctrl+c, change windows again, put the focus in the right field and than do the ctrl+v. Too many steps.
My idea was if I could put several global hotkeys on my app, one to each field, and when the users need they could put the focus on the destination field and press the hotkey, the hotkey would copy the information from the right field and past wherever the focus were.
The global hotkeys I was able to do it, now I must do the copy/paste part.
Do you go it?

Hi, thanks for the answer. This post has a way to register a global hotkey, this I have already done. My problem now is this:
The user is in another application, anyone, and press like ctrl+shift+1, I make some processing and put a result let say in a string, and here come the question, how do I force a paste in this other application, that it's where the focus is?
tks
