Topic: Trouble with SendKeys

[latour_g]

I can't make SendKeys work for simulating CTRL+C.  I have tried :
SendKeys.Send("^(c)");
SendKeys.Send("^(C)");
SendKeys.Send("^c");
SendKeys.Send("^C");
Also tried with SendKeys.SendWait but with no success.
Also tried InputSimulator.SimulateModifiedKeyStroke(VirtualKeyCode.CONTROL, VirtualKeyCode.VK_C);
Any help ?

requires .NET 4.0

Code - C#: [Select]

1.         public static void SendCommand(this Document doc, string command)
2.         {
3.             dynamic acadDoc = doc.GetAcadDocument();
4.             acadDoc.SendCommand(command);
5.         }
6.  
7.         public static void SendCancel(this Document doc)
8.         {
9.             doc.SendCommand("\x03\x03");
10.         }
11.  

Have not tested but I think VB equivalent would be

Code - Visual Basic: [Select]

1. Imports System
2. Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
3. Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.DocumentExtension
4. Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices
5. Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry
6. Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput
7.  
8. Module Module1
9.     <System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension> _
10.     Public Sub SendCommand(doc As Document, command As String)
11.         Dim acadDoc = doc.GetAcadDocument()
12.         acadDoc.SendCommand(command)
13.     End Sub
14.  
15.     <System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension> _
16.     Public Sub SendCancel(doc As Document)
17.         doc.SendCommand(ChrW(3) & ChrW(3))
18.     End Sub
19. End Module
