How to simulate mouse and keyboard to operate an application from a WinForm program?

I am writing a WinForm program in C#, to move mouse cursor, click mouse, stroke keyboard, to operate another running GUI application in Windows. Is this possible, how to do it? I mean the simulation of mouse and keyboard and operation of another GUI application.

Thanks a lot!

SendInput is your friend here. It doesn't have a direct C# wrapper, but it's easy to use with P/Invoke.

SendInput places input into the input queue, which then gets dispatched normally, so you will need to set focus to the target application first.
