What i want to realize is to _simulate_ a pressed key programatically. For example to create the possibility to toggle the ALT keystate using a checkbox... Show quote "Herfried K.

OK, no robots :-) Have a look in the help at the 'SendKeys' class - will that do what you want? -- Jeff Gaines Damerham Hampshire UK Hi Stephan
What do you want your code to do? Why don't you respond to KeyDown and KeyUp events to toggle the state of your application, then use a Timer to repeatedly execute an action while the state shows the key is down. You might want to use KeyPreview on a form so that you get all the keyboard events before they are routed to individual controls.
