Modeling a keystroke event using SendInput with C #

Following the recommendations of this topic: distinguish between keystrokes Real and Virtual

I am trying to create a program that will send keyboard keystroke events using the SendInput () method .

However, the problem is that when I try to simulate a keypress event, nothing happens. So far, my code is:

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    static extern UInt32 SendInput(UInt32 nInputs, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, SizeConst = 1)] INPUT[] pInputs, Int32 cbSize);

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
    struct KEYBDINPUT
    {
        public short wScan; public int dwFlags;
        public int time; public IntPtr dwExtraInfo;
    }

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)]
    struct INPUT
    {
        [FieldOffset(0)] public int type;
        [FieldOffset(8)]  public KEYBDINPUT ki; //x64 - 8, x32 - 4
    }

    const int KEYEVENTF_DOWN = 0; //key UP
    const int KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY = 0x0001;
    const int KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 0x0002; //key UP
    const int KEYEVENTF_UNICODE = 0x0004;
    const int KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE = 0x0008; // scancode

    public void Send_Key(short Keycode)
    {
        INPUT[] InputData = new INPUT[1];
        InputData[0].type = 1;
        InputData[0].ki.wScan = Keycode;
        InputData[0].ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_KEYUP | KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE;
        InputData[0].ki.time = 0;
        InputData[0].ki.dwExtraInfo = IntPtr.Zero;
        SendInput(1, InputData, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(INPUT)));
    }

To decrypt scancodes, I downloaded the program that was proposed in this thread:

https://superuser.com/questions/293609/windows-7-tool-to-capture-keyboard-scan-codes

according to this program - "a" key code for my keyboard - "65"

, , "q" - "q" send_key(), "qa":

    private void textBox2_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Send_Key(0x0065); // nothing happens (0x65 also fails)
    }

            InputData[0].type = 1;
            InputData[0].ki.wScan = Keycode;
            InputData[0].ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_DOWN;
            InputData[0].ki.time = 0;
            InputData[0].ki.dwExtraInfo = IntPtr.Zero;

            uint intReturn = SendInput(1, InputData, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(INPUT)));

            if (intReturn == 0) //!=1
            {
                throw new Exception("Could not send keyDOWN: " + Keycode);
            }

            INPUT[] InputData2 = new INPUT[1];
            InputData2[0].type = 1;
            InputData2[0].ki.wScan = Keycode;
            InputData2[0].mi.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_KEYUP; // KEYEVENTF_KEYUP | KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE;
            InputData2[0].ki.time = 0;
            InputData2[0].ki.dwExtraInfo = IntPtr.Zero;

            uint intReturn2 = SendInput(1, InputData2, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(INPUT)));

            if (intReturn2 == 0) //!=1
            {
                throw new Exception("Could not send keyUP: " + Keycode);
            }
        }
