I am trying to make C# launch an application (in this case open office), and start sending that application keypresses such that it would appear as though someone is typing. So ideally, I would be able to send a running open office process the keypress for the letter "d", and open office would then type d on the paper. Can anyone give me direction as per how to go about this? I have tried to do the following:

p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
p.StartInfo.FileName = processNames.executableName;

p.Start();

p.StandardInput.Write("hello");

But that doesn't get me the desired effect - I don't see the text typed out in open office.
