Win32.net SendKeys Equivalent

Question

I am designing a system that reads a gesture from Kinect and performs some actions. I am trying to turn on the system to send HotKey to the application. My system writes in C ++, but the user interface is in C ++. Net. I was able to use SendKeys from part of the user interface, and it really works.

Is there a Win32 equivalent so I can use it on my system?

Thanks in advance!

It can also simulate mouse movements, etc.

If there are multiple applications in Vista and above, UAC integrity levels can prevent applications from sending / receiving Windows messages this way. You may need to call ChangeWindowMessageFilter , ChangeWindowMessageFilterEx to enable the perception message in a higher process.
