Remarks

This function is used by the upgrade tools to emulate the Visual Basic 6.0 SendKeys method. In Visual Basic, use the My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys method instead.

Note

Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2008. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.
