Is there a .NET library for sending keystrokes, mouse clicks, mouse movements and other input? Similar to AutoHotKey but for .NET library use?

Question

I'm looking to essentially write code similar to what I can do with AutoHotKey, only in .NET and C#, because it's a much more robust environment. I didn't know if there was a wrapper library available for these sorts of hooks or not.

Does anyone know of a library that does this for .NET?

This actually looks pretty promising, I haven't tested it yet, but it's at least a good starting point. Not too bad considering it's on CodeProject. lol.

For sending keys you can use System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.

For mouse and other input you have to wrap the SendMessage API.
