KeyPressProcess 0.0.1.1

KeyPressProcess NuGet Package

Description

Send key presses to any process by bringing them to the front (as focused window).
Useful for automation, like dealing with installation pop-ups,
or anything that requires the user's manual interaction.
Mouse control is not supported, but you can use special keys like {TAB} and {ENTER} to navigate through forms.
All keyboard keys are available, including special keys.

Installation

Requires dotnet 7 for windows.

dotnet add package KeyPressProcess

How to use

Without dependency-injection:

var settings = new KeyPressProcess.AppSettings() {
    Process = { Name = "notepad", MainWindowTitle = "Notepad", TakeMax = 1 },
    Retry = { Every = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5) },
    ExecuteUntilMinSuccess = 1,
    ExecuteForever = false,
    KeySequence = "Hi,{WAIT-300}{ENTER}{TAB} how are you?"
};
var keyPressProcess = new KeyPressProcessService();
await keyPressProcess.Execute(settings);

With dependency-injection:

Register the classes in the dependency container. If you are using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection then you can use this extension:

using KeyPressProcess;

.ConfigureServices((hostContext, services) => {
    services.RegisterKeyPressProcess();

public class MyClass {
    private readonly IKeyPressProcess _keyPressProcess;
    public MyClass(IKeyPressProcess keyPressProcess) {
        _keyPressProcess = keyPressProcess;
    }
    public async Task DoSomething() {
        var settings = new KeyPressProcess.AppSettings() {
            Process = { Name = "notepad" },
            ExecuteUntilMinSuccess = 1,
            KeySequence = "{ENTER}Hi, how are you?{TAB}"
        };
        await _keyPressProcess.Execute(settings);
    }
}
