I have 11 buttons on my form. Buttons 0 through 9, backspace and period
(Looks like a calculator). When I click these buttons, I want to send that
key like you were pressing it on the keyboard. I was going to use
sendkeys.send but that isn't supported in the compact framework. I am
looking for something similar to sendkeys.send. Does anyone know how I can
do this?

There's an implementation of the SendKeys class in the SDF...
http://www.opennetcf.org/SDF

Or if you think that it would be too heavy to install the entire framework
then you may consider lifting the code from here (the username and password
are both "guest")...

Tim it that seems to work great. Just have one more question. How do I send
a period using sendkeys? I tried sendkeys.send(".") and sendkeys.send("{.}"),
neither of these worked. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not exactly sure why this is, but I can see this behavior as well. This
could be something simple that is being overlooked. But the following code
should send a period to the focused control...

OpenNETCF.Win32.Core.SendKeyboardString(".");

The difference between that the SendKeys.Send implementation and the
Core.SendKeyboardString implementation use different underlying API calls.
I'm not sure how relevant this is to the issue but it is an apparent
difference.
