Text replacement software and Citrix

Question

I'm building an text replacement application,

it works fine until:

on my work we use Citrix XenAPP and still that's alright

because when I enter the shortkey, the text from the string is typed with sendkeys.send()

but the shortkey isn't ereased before typing
I use sendkeys.send({backspace})

well I figured out that XenApp wont react on all the buttons like delete and backspace...

I tried some things like this.. http://inputsimulator.codeplex.com/

but not with success outside the application it works fine until inside XenApp

I Hope you can help me,

with Thanks in Advance,

  private void check_typed()
        {

            if (System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(keybuffer,ckName.Default.name1, System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
            {

                nameLength1 = ckName.Default.name1.Length;
                while (nameLength1 >= 1)
                {
                 //   SendKeys.Send("{BACKSPACE}");
                    InputSimulator.SimulateKeyPress(VirtualKeyCode.BACK);


                    nameLength1--;

Answer 1

Why do you use SendKeys in the first place? Are you trying to control third-party applications with your tool? You may take a look at that thread about the input simulator, it shows you some enhancements.
