Installed InputSimulator via NuGet, no members acc

Question

In Visual Studio 2013, I installed a C# package called "InputSimulator." After doing so, I see a new reference get added to my project called "WindowsInput." (i.e., WindowsInput.dll)

The problem is that none of the methods that the codeplex site talks about are accessible. If I try:

InputSimulator.SimulateTextEntry("Say hello!");

I get the error:

Error   14  'WindowsInput.InputSimulator' does not contain a definition for 
'SimulateTextEntry' Blah.cs 33  32  ALibrary

I do have using WindowsInput as a directive.

Does anyone know why the methods are not accessible? Methods like SimulateKeyPress() are also not available. These are the key API. Am I missing something about adding this library and referencing it?

Answer 1

So I just tried this lib. Actually their documentation is just a little off. You need to create an instance of InputSimulator first, like this:

  InputSimulator s = new InputSimulator();
  s.Keyboard.TextEntry("Hello sim !");
