Not sure where to start with this one ...
I'm thinking about creating a small little application to automate some repetitive text entry. I would like to be able to define snippets of text, and inject them into other applications when I want. What would be the best way to approach this problem? I have stumbled across UI Automation, as well as SendKeys. Any suggestions?
I don't mind if I have to "point out" the input controls for the application (like how Mac's native screenshot tool asks you to click on the window you want to capture). For instance, I could select the snippet of text in this application, then click on my other application's text input box, and that would somehow let the first application get a handle for the input's control to then simulate input.
Also, would there be any way to programmatically "submit" that form of controls once filled in? I come from a web design background, so a lot of this native application development is new to me.
Sorry if this is a vague question, I'm just not sure where to even start with this ...
