How Do I Emulate a Keystroke In C# WPF Application?

Question

Inside the application there is an if statement. It checks a string variable kai if the variable equals to 1 i want it to react as if i pressed the right arrow on my keyboard. Can you help me with that? Thanks.

Actually you might want to think about using Commands for that. If you think about what you want to achieve it is to trigger something after the Key-Press. If you use a Command for that you can directly trigger it without going via the programmatic key pressing stuff. Also you can still trigger the command via a keypress (InputGesture).

You can find out more about Commands here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.input.icommand.aspx
