Is there a way to Send Numpad3 + Numpad4 keys while holding Left ALT in c# Windows Desktop Applicationto get double quotes?

Question

I have a desktop appcalition project which sends Keys with SendKeys.Send() function. I'm trying to send double quotes ("). SendKeys.Send("\\""); is not a solution for my project. As you know another way to get (") is typing 34 on numpad while holding Left Alt on keyboard. That's exactly what I want to do. I want to Send LALT+NUMPAD3+NUMPAD4. I'm testing my compiled exe with Wordpad application on Windows 10. Does anyone have any idea to solve this?

Answer 1

Can you try

SendKeys.Send("\"");

It print " for me as the image below, but if you just want to sent Alt+3+4 you can try

SendKeys.SendWait("%(34)");

The % is for Alt, ^ for Ctrl & + is for Shift so we are pressing Alt then typing 34 in the code above and it's just like

SendKeys.SendWait("+(vinod)");

that prints VINOD in CAPS because of + 'Ctrl` key.

The SendKeys will not differentiate between Left Alt or Right Alt perhaps you can use the kebd_event form the API please see the answer here
