SendKeys.SendWait Method

public static void SendWait (
	string keys
)

public static void SendWait (
	String keys
)

public static function SendWait (
	keys : String
)

Parameters

keys

The string of keystrokes to send.

Use SendWait to send keystrokes or combinations of keystrokes to the active application and wait for the keystroke messages to be processed. You can use this method to send keystrokes to an application and wait for any processes that are started by the keystrokes to be completed. This can be important if the other application must finish before your application can continue.

Note
Because there is no managed method to activate another application, you can either use this class within the current application or use native Windows methods, such as FindWindow and SetForegroundWindow, to force focus on other applications.

• SecurityPermission  for unmanaged code to call this method. Associated enumeration: SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode
