you need to inject the data to other forms, i already show example how to do this here, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31084208/can-i-send-answer-to-binary-file-with-batch-file/31084326#31084326 – Proxytype Jul 03 '15 at 20:56

invoke "on screen keyboard" / avoid re-inventing the wheel where possible. the executable is osk.exe. In c#
Process.start("osk.exe")
this is equivalent to typing in osk.exe at commandprompt.
if you prefer not to use this for your application, on your form button click
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("W");
should do the job

Yes that solved my problem . What about I want to Active Alt + W . System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("ALT+W"); is it correct – Mehrdad Jul 03 '15 at 21:07

SendKeys.Send("{%}W") this should send Alt + W. Are you saying that this is not working? – Krishna Jul 03 '15 at 21:27
